I beleive what you saw was an Argo. They make them in six wheels and eight wheels. They make tracks and tops for them to so its a mini floating SUV of sorts.

Now for the scary question... How much are they $$???

Post by: fabr on February 04, 2011, 06:04:17 AM: 15-30K new depending on model/options. Used 4-15K. I requested a quote on a Centaur before I saw it wasn't amphibious . I'd be more interested in a 750HDI instead.
