Sure, if I was looking to buy an suv and the price was right. Looks like an explorer or an jeep, with a slot in the hood.

Even if it was real...I don't think so...somehow having to step UP into a MINI (?) would seem very, very wrong.

this isn't real at all folks, no need to get excited. It's just a mini front on an envoy or saab or isuzu or chevy trailblazer body :P

it does seem to be the model to slap another marque's front on... good work saab!

Would've been nice if the photoshop work was done well

You can tell obviously that this car isn't real since there are so many hints of 2 photos overlayed to each other. Back has 2 types of shade. Look at how the roof is painted white, no uniformity and the lines for the dorr is blocked. Rims are all wrong. The "designer" forgot to remove something in the front of the hood of the other car, look at the right side of the picture or the left side of the car. The air vents or whatever was suppose to be on top of the hood is all wrong.

Kinda wish that the guy did it correctly so that everyone will be fooled. It'd would've been nice April's fool joke.
