That thing, IMHO, is downright HORRENDOUS!. Not to mention the almost non-existing road clearance. But if they make it somebody buys them.

Cyclops! Could be more ugly-but I don't know how-and all for $3mil!  For someone that absolutely has to show off and be the center of attraction.  Good Luck, TomC

It is amphibious so you may want a floating toad too.

No, I'm not going to pay $3 million for one; the fuel economy just isn't good enough.  Why, I'd have to pay $500 more a year at that fuel consumption!   ::)

Wasn't there a Rolls-Royce saying, "If you can afford one of our cars, fuel mileage isn't really important"?

  "Ew", "seriously?", "Dude, that is so gross".

  Now we know who hired the guys who designed the Aztek and the Avalanche.

The bus is NOT amphibious...the author tricked you by throwing in that word when comparing it to the corvette-themed speedboat. And the word was used incorrectly there as well...the boat is also NOT amphibious, unless you count the fact it's sold with a special semi-trailer for transportation over land.

Can you imagine how easy this would be to strand by driving over a driveway or hill? It's so low to the ground. Think of the repair bill if you crunch the underbelly.
