2).. Its butt ugly , without the 'charm' of the LM002
3).. The LM002 was a genuine off roader (like the Range Rover) it had kudos as a military vehicle (look at hummer H2 sales in the US, people buy it because they think they're driving the real thing!)

I think it will be built, there are a lot of people out there with more brains than sense/style (look at cayenne sales), and it would be a money maker.
I would love to see a new espada (saw some artists impressions in a magazine). I'm sure there are a lot of us with kids, and a 4 seater would at least allow us to go on holiday in our bulls rather than choosing between the car and the kids (what an easy choice).
As for a lightweight RWD Murcie, yup great idea, apparently a racing team is developing a Gallardo on this basis.
I live in hope of great things to come...

I agree more with your bottom portion, and feel the same way.
As for the build i think it will be based on Audi platform,
And as for charm of the LM002, i dont see it, its just a big, funny proportioned, military truck. But certainly many love it and thats great.
I think people buy Hummers because they are big and bad and have a certain status about them, that then flows to the owner of having the biggest SUV on the block that could fit a huge family in it. Is' gangster like, the get out of my way look. Anyways i think lots of people like it, nothing to do with military, besides its not the H1 that is a full blown African Safari truck. Those buyers have a different reason too spend $150K. They use it for what its for! Not to show off on the streets. Because we all know you dont see that many of them around with big chrome rims and bumpin' systems.
