All those whiny environmentalists and their green cars get on my nerves every once in a while too. So what if the emissions from our motor vehicles are forming a gaseous blanket over the earth and making our planet warmer than it has any business being? Who cares if some people in low-lying countries will be left homeless or worse yet landless as the sea levels rise? Why would it bother me that the polar ice caps and glaciers are melting, when I can drive an Alton F-650 XUV?
It takes a 7.2L Caterpillar engine pumping out 660 ft-lbs to power this 25,999 lb vehicle. It rocks a 42-speaker sound system, two drop-down 16-inch TVs and a 42-inch plasma, four computer workstations and for ensuring that the road in front of you clears fast, a truck horn. The interior looks very plush with hardwood floors and captains chairs capping it off. The Alton is a highly obnoxious piece of automobile that definitely has a niche.
It will set you back close enough to $200,000 and at least it is diesel. A video and a few more pictures after the jump.
