Bet it will be spendy. Could have a Hummer like appeal to people with the money though.

H2 owners are usually buying them to be "cool Suburbans" or mom-wagons. This looks sized more like a Wrangler.

CJ-5 owners already spend ridiculous amounts of money on their babies, so this actually makes perfect sense to me.

Yea, that's a better comparison.

I see quite a few Jeeps loaded up with many thousands in customizations even in the city.

I love it. It reminds me of the original Bronco, IH Scout, Range Rover Defender. Squared off practical, and nifty 2 door utility trucks.

But it is hard to imagine this will actually make it to production without a lot of luck, and it sounds like the whole team is less than 10 people, so I doubt all the details have really been taken care of.

Cool, but the production model will have to have airbags and the rest of the safety features that add weight and muddy the appearance. Do like though.

Beat me to posting it! This thing looks like a beast!

I am curious about what the pricing will be like. I'd imagine at least $100k. The DC350 Brute Double Cab conversion kit from AEV starts to kiss $100k fully loaded: (including the donor vehicle)

Anyway, the Bollinger looks great, awesome design, hope they are successful!

Looks like an oversized golfcart. As shown, I predict serious issues with squeaking and other structural issues.

I think it looks pretty cool, but just radiusing the edges would probably net it another 20-30 miles of range on the highway. It's an aerodynamic nightmare.
