In general I like it, but the spare tire on the roof is not so good.

Typical concept. It looks fat, IMO.
Bring back the Continental kit!

Hey, a spare tire...good idea. It's uncomfortable not having one really. Looks aerodynamic enough, maybe a cover or a little lower in the roof. Wonder if they wind tunnel tested it?

Totally diggin' the color scheme... not.
Nice design, though. I do like it. It looks very utilitarian, I can appreciate that. I would be a fun let's-go-camping-mobile.

Why not? I think it rocks. Now all it needs is a REAL 4 x 4 transmission and more power ...

Come catch me all you Hummers!!!

Ugh.... Sorry, I just don't like it. It's longer, it's fatter looking, it's lost the "bulldog" character that made our generation so.... I don't know... charming? The interior is a mess, too. I'll say it again - Generation 1 will be the pinnacle of this car.

Opinions are like thumbs, everybody's got a couple and most people wish everyone else would just sit on theirs

The concept is a "Rally Support vehicle" according to AutoExpress (UK) mag.
