bank vault on wheels, concept stolen from mercedes? - Benzworld.org

**cyberdrakon** · 01-20-2005, 01:10 AM

you know how the mercedes sedans always feel like bank vaults on wheels? Ford has now stolen the idea and made a concept! It's as if Ford wanted to make a mini Gwagen.

I like the metal shutters that close over the windows though...

That looks a little scary! Is that what our future holds. You wouldn't have to worry about being carjacked in that thing. I wonder how secure it is? As we progress in technology, it appears that it is going to cost some major money to own some of these upcoming vehicles. Can you imagine having to take that thing back to the stealership for service.[:0]

I really like it! If it becomes available, no question I will get one.

Blah. That thing is hideous! One of the most revolting vehicles I've ever seen. [xx(]

Why not just ride around in a real armored truck instead of a imitation one.

Scion xB on steroids?
SYNus? What a terrible name. I can only associate it with the sharp pain up my forehead and thick slimy green boogers.

wait, I think I have the perfect catchphrase for this one:

"The Ultimate Road Rage Machine"[:D][:D][:D]

ugh, it looks like an armor plated Ford Escape

Itâ€™s almost as ugly as an H2.

Ugly as sin on the outside but right on, on the inside,... my only question is, will the SYNus be a sharing a platform with the MUCus
