Post by **AZhitman** » Wed Aug 20, 2003 4:01 am

I'm SO down with that.

Too bad it'll be watered down by production time.

Post by **redrocket** » Wed Aug 20, 2003 4:01 am

Post by **240marcuSX** » Wed Aug 20, 2003 4:01 am

that = my new favorite thing. look at the tread pattern. wierd.

Post by **Altiman94** » Wed Aug 20, 2003 4:01 am

That's a pretty nice looking vehicle, I wonder about those tires however.

Post by **rydwhite** » Wed Aug 20, 2003 4:01 am

That would look sweet parked in my garage next to my G35.

Post by **AZhitman** » Wed Aug 20, 2003 4:01 am

Those tires are a one-off (custom, one of a kind) set made for photos. The vehicle you are looking at is a non-functional model.

Go to any autoshow and you'll see tires like these, often they're a special "slick" tire that is custom carved with a logo or a design in the tread.

I like the moniker DuneHawk. It's definitely original.

Now you want a crappy name, remember ones like "Capri", "Sephia", "LeBaron", "Pinto" etc...ugh.

I'm waiting for the folks at WankWagen to produce the "Dung Beetle" in special Burnt Umber metallic flake paint.

Post by **jEzTeR** » Wed Aug 20, 2003 4:01 am

That thing is cool.Looks like its on steroids(as all prototypes do). LOLUnless its going to get a V8 like the Triton then I would still get a FX45 over it though.

i dig the placement of the exhaust :boink

Nissan SUVs look like plastic toys these days. I'm hoping it's only an appearance...because to me it structuraly looks like a Daewoo from the outside...

Post by **tinted** » Wed Aug 20, 2003 4:01 am

^ agreed

Post by **corn322** » Wed Aug 20, 2003 4:01 am

I wonder if you could get it as a 5 speed (or 6 speed) manual. that would rock

Post by **UncleBen** » Wed Aug 20, 2003 4:01 am

At first glance I about threw up, but the more I looked at it the more I liked it. That seems to be the way I am with alot of new cars coming out these days. Also, alot of the new cars these days I despise and think should be completely erased from the planet, but hey, what can I do about it. But yes I do like this new creation from Nissan. I LOVE the interior and sunroof/skyroof thing.

Post by **nametakennow** » Wed Aug 20, 2003 4:01 am

It looks like a really pissed off Tonka truck...sweet.

Post by **Toahk** » Wed Aug 20, 2003 4:01 am

shaved mirrors also. If it goes to production then it will get all the things like mirrors,door handles,a motor ect...

Post by **dr!ft** » Wed Aug 20, 2003 4:01 am

If I'm not mistaken, the mirrors are actually cameras mounted in the little bumb you see there where the mirrors usualy are. The image is then displayed inside the car on screens. I've seen them in a few other concept cars, but it probably won't make the final cut in the DuneHawk. Could though...
