Default press release

Okay, so this is off topic, but lets say i wanted to pull my bass boat
with this....has anyone heard much about this?

I know it's based on the Romanian Auto design --- I've never thought of
Romania when it comes to SUV's, but hey, maybe they know something...

A diesel is interesting -- but this thing looks like an old land rover?

Anyone?

I went to the site. It's an interesting looking little bugger, but I'm disappointed in the specs.
A couple hundred horsepower/torque? That's it??? And all it gets for mileage is 17/22? My truck
has 300 hp, 524 lbft torque and I'm getting the same mileage! I'd have to drive one before totally
writing it off, but I'm getting the same mileage, have more room, can tow 6 tons or carry a 3/4 ton
load.

If you're looking for an small to mid-sized SUV with similar mileage, look at the Chevy Trailblazer.
A friend of mine bought one, gets BETTER mileage and it's rated to tow heavier loads. He got his at
a price just slightly higher than what the press release says.
