Stumbled upon this.... if its already been posted then mods feel free to delete, but I didn't find it when I searched

Looks pretty good but.

The AU looks like crap imho... The BA Looks slightly bubble like in the way the roof is?

The stance on it doesn't do anything for me (Low in front, high in the rear) but I spose that'd change when you have a limo full of fat VIPs lol

Definity differant...

That is shocking, especially side view. I was told only one company in Australia does the limo conversions. Is this true? If so would explain the $140,000 price tag.

My understanding was there was one company that makes the original "prototype" to get it certified. It costs them a fortune to engineer it pass the aussi standards, like the EPA emissions testing and engineering integrity etc.
Then they sell the designs to other companies who make them to order, because once the prototype passes the testing the other companies just have to follow the plans and done have to get each one tested.

May be wrong tho.
