It's made by International, right? I haven't seen those guys come out with a commercial truck in a long time.
I personally don't see this truck as a rig. If anything, you'll see it on the Funkmaster Flex Show.
I want a real big-rig diesel. :p

Classic. It reminds me of the commercial where you see people driving back hoes, and bulldozers down the street.
On a side note, the parents of a friend of mine have something similar (though a bit smaller from what I remember) that they use to pull their monster 5th wheel trailer.

OMG! What a butt-ugly vehicle! 
To quote part of the article:
"We can see it a as a vehicle for business people who want to make distinct impression. For personal use, it's for people who want to make a statement."
endquote
Yeah, they want to make a statement like "I'm a freakin' idiot with way too much money and way too little brains!"
On the bright side, a truck like that would make the MPG discussions in this forum laughable by comparison!

they claimed it got 6+ mpg. Given how much bigger it is than the H2, you can thus think of this as an enviromentally friendly version of the H2.
... well, maybe not. But given that only 50 per year will be made, I expect some sport stars to buy it up as the next Hummer.

that is the ultimate mobile home, as Kostanza would say "Serenity now!!" I was actually thinking that nobody would be foolish enough to make something bigger than an H2 or Explursion, I know our cars aren't the most practical vehicles out there, but now we have this?! yeeesh 6 mpg?! 6 ton capacity?! I don't know if I'll ever own 6 tons of anything at one time

That's awesome. If I were super rich I would buy one to take revenge on all the douchebags in Expeditions who nearly kill me when they drift into my lane and ****. I can't wait to see the looks on their faces when they have to swerve and slam on the brakes to avoid me and end up with their latte all over their laps! bwahaha

Most class-A RV's you see on the road run in the 90-130k range new. With the upper end in the 200k - 1 million dollar range.
If you want the bentley of RV's, look up Prevost.
