Looks like it got too close to high heat and melted away in places.

The only parts that look familiar to me on this thing are the Enclave taillights.

yeaaaaa no. i dont see the point of the huge offroad tires with what looks like ZERO suspension travel to make them useful.

Well there was no thought as to usefulness there. Big 4x4 tires whih=ch is going to kill road preformance, but no ground clearance which makes it useless offroad. I guess it atleast has good approach and departure angles, but I'll just take an H1 and swap out the tiny slow factory desiel engine for a more powerful turbo desiel and save myself the other $700K for fuel.
