Yesterday's info alert on my beeper had the following blurb:

quote:
Daimler to Offer a Monster S.U.V. - Freightliner, the nation's biggest maker of 18-wheelers, plans to start selling a four-wheel-drive vehicle that dwarfs even the largest family vehicles on the road.

I found the article on the NY Times web site. Here it is:

Daimler to Offer a Monster S.U.V.

Can anyone say: "Canyonero"?

Why don't they just convert the friggin' Freightliner into an SUV and be done with it?
