I guess it's up to personal opinion...it seems like every vehicle these days looks like some sort of sci-fi monster, I don't get it.

I like it, but that's not really what the article was about...

"The ZH2 was born out of the U.S. Army’s desire to test the viability of hydrogen as a fuel for ground vehicles. But I can assure you it only got that Hollywood body kit out of Chevrolet’s desire to have some cool pictures for a press release."

yea if they get the contract, and prove it out on the Army's dime I wonder if it will catch on in the consumer market

Why not? Hummers caught on with consumers.

I dunno- maybe it's me, but this entire "vehicle" looks computer generated.

And it looks like something dreamed up by a video game designer.

They said because it's quieter and cooler.

But how quite and cool is it when one rocks a hydrogen fuel cell over an IED?

Reminds me of the din of replacing the Hummer with an F150 - yea, I'll bet.

The hummer is a monster - makes a civy truck look like a twig axle tin can.
