Geez....7.5 MPG??? What's the point of even having a vehicle like that then? With the cost of the truck anyway, that sucker should run on Mr. Fusion or not exist outside of the movie.

But does it have the Autobot symbol embossed on the tailgate? I mean, that's what really matters.

7.5 mpg? As much as I like Ironhide, he's not exactly enviornment friendly.

Might as well walk, by the time you stop every few miles for more fuel, you'd be ahead from the walking.
Still, it would be nice to have just for show!

Yea I am not really a fan of GMC at all as a company though sometimes they do have nice concepts. I am die hard Jeep, but since Jeep is owned by Chrysler (meh) I suport the other "family" groups like Dodge. Ford is pretty good as well though.
I just think it is really neat that Monroetruck is doing this package for people. AEV (American Expiditionary Vechicles) does this sort of after market package stuff for Jeeps. Like a V8 hemi swap into your TJ.

MPG is inversely proportionate to how "cool" the car is.
Example:
Prius = Nerd
1972 Buick Centurion convertible with a 455 = Totally Rad
Yes, I drive a '72 Centurion (you can pick'em up cheap!):

*drools*
How much?
I envy your ride.
Anyhoo, I'd buy Ironhide. If you don't like the MPG, then modify it. To me, it's worth it to own that truck. Mostly 'acoause it's American, not some import trash.
Like the Prius.

My feelings about the milage, if you're concerned about the price of gas, you probably can't afford it. I just thought it was interesting that this truck is being produced "movie accurate" and getting the attention of the mainstream. This is the kind of purchase you'd make if you won the lottery...

My thoughts exactly. If I were in the market for this kind of work truck and was a transfan, this IS the vehicle to drive.

Personally, I'm waitin' for Peterbilt to step up to the plate with a "Prime" package. When that happens, then I will start being truly impressed. Not that the Ironhide package isn't impressive, I just think it's about time the real big rigs got some of the spotlight.

It would be cool to see a Z06 with the fire Autobot logo on it. But you can get your own stuff designed and made. I work for FedEx Kinko's and I used our sign and graphics equipment and made some Con symbols for my Jeep.

I'll second that...wouldn't mind seeing the "Bumblebee Package" with the Autobot symbol on the steering wheel.
I can't say anything about cool vehicles...I drive a minivan; it was the only thing big enought to hold all my keyboard equipment, sound racks, mixers, and amplifies. Though I get an impressive 29 MPG out of it
It finally happened. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Yes, I cried.

This movie did so much for the Camaro concept I bet GM would do a Bumblebee special edition eventually.

Yeah dude, this is the real deal, down to the autobot emblem on the tailgate. I live in Monroe Wisconsin so I have seen this beast up close. AWESOME! How awesome would it be to cruise the strip in this thing alongside a Camaro and a Solstice gxp. I get chills just thinking about it.
