I think you would very soon get "bored" of having to open that huge top rear door and then drop the steps bit down - unless it is automated and if - how quick does it work? Wouldn't want to be in a place where you are getting shot at and now you have to wait whilst it shuts the doors for you!

Also don't think much of the approach and departure angles, too much overhang.

Seeing that snow pic... I'd say driver visibility would be really horrible, maybe the worst ever.

For some reason, it just looks like a giant metal cockroach to me.

I agree. The rake of the glass on high end sports cars is often limited to the point where the optical distortion is a problem.

I can't imagine where that distortion would occur on a big 'ole hunk of ballistic glass, but I'm pretty sure that the world outside of this thing looks like a funhouse mirror.
