Hi David:
To tag into your last lines, did I not read somewhere that there was or was supposed to be some sort of subsidy scheme whereby the existing manufacturers were to continue production of existing civilian chassis that could also be suitable for military applications? I gather the civilian buyers would get some discount or some such to buy vehicles that did not 100% fit their needs but could be used for both purposes or something like that.
If so, it would lend weight to the argument of the proponents of the 6X4 design. The 4X4 generally speaking had only a military application and offered no economy of scale on the manufacturing side.
Just some random thoughts.
Bill
