Well, the US Army has one: [link\|http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,39349,00.html\|http://www.foxnews....9349,00.html] Granted, it seats fewer then the movie's version, but it also includes features from the Batmobile, KITT, and most of James Bond's autos. Other than the gas mileage, I think it would be pretty nifty in a commute. Brian Bronson

On the other hand, I damn well couldn't afford a stripped down version (aka, the "available to public SUV") so I know this isn't going to be on my Christmas list.
