While watching the newest episode of Top Gear on BBC America tonight, my attention was immediately grabbed by the mention of an "XV." (What? VX backward? )

The Conquest Knight XV makes the Hummer look like a Prius.

A basic feature list:
* It's armored like a tank
* Alpine tunes
* Power windows and courtesy lights! (freakin' awesome!)
* Leather seating and steering wheel
* Michelin XZY 385/65/22.5" tires (that's 42.2" tall x 15.16" wide)
* ONLY $489,000!!!!! ("I'll take 3 please, all in Victory White!")
* Optional 300 HP diesel with 660 ft/lbs torque
* ... which barely scratches the surface of the craziness!
