To me, it appears they succumbed to the style of the "Fast and Furious" crowd, but left out the substance. Note the high center of gravity caused by the forward and elevated location of the passenger compartment. In addition, the wing is located in an area where it won't be able to smooth out the turbulent air going over the vehicle. Finally, the aesthetics appear to be hastily done and some features appear as an afterthought. Note the headlights which appear to be laying in the front cargo area. Now I realize this is a prototype, and that it is the first vehicle of its type for JBRW, but even so it seems to lack the purposeful design of previous products. My best hope is that this picture is simply a "test mule" with the real design disguised underneath. Rich I think JBRW went over the top with this one.

I'd also like to see a 5-point harness for the little tike. And it appears that Jack is finally leaving the Stock, unless wings are permitted in this yet to be determined class.
