HUMINT: Pictures can speak a thousand words. I agree that the HMMVW althought a very capable vehicle is not the best option.
The Mercedes-Benz Geldenwagen tenatively chosen for the Army is a great choice. However, my problem is that it is only being purchased in small numbers and primarily for operations. The Geldenwagen or "GWagen" is a modular vehicle like the HMMVW, it can replace the LSVW too, but more importantly it does not suffer from the same problems associated with large physical dimensions. M-B makes a variety of models in long and short wheelbase, armoured, command & recce, special operations, and others. For those who think it is too small to replace the current LSVW as an ambulance think again. I can‘t seem to find a GWagen Ambulance picture, but it is very similar in set up and size to the British Army‘s Land Rover Defender ambulance. see this pic: http://www.army.mod.uk/equipment/muv/muv_bamb.htm
