Holy cow! Where did you see that at FoxKat? Very cool.

Came upon it at a gas station just minutes ago at the 5 way corner of South 58th Street and Cobbs Creek Parkway and Chester Pike in Philadelphia, PA.
I spoke with the driver and passenger, a young couple maybe in their late twenties. Both were wearing the red shirts with the general Foods Corporation logo on them. I asked him about the vehicle and he said it's a 6 passenger vehicle, all six seats are buckets, 3 rows of 2 seats each, and it's built on a GMC box truck frame. The shot in the rear allows you to see a portion of the trunk lid, it actually has a trunk.
I asked him where they take it and he said to trade shows and parades and the like. He said they're going to be at several Whole Foods Markets in the Philadelphia area in the coming days. I also asked him if the company provides them with giveaways and he said yes they do. It's much larger than it may appear in the picture. It's actually about the size of a school transportation bus. That would make one hell of a nice RV to tour the country in.
I can't imagine what that thing cost to build, but I'll bet those glass windshields cost a pretty penny considering how their parabolic in shape. You can't get in from the driver side, but have to enter through a door on the passenger side for for all passengers and the driver. Interesting leave the door is actually for the rear of the vehicle.
There are sliding windows at the bottoms of the front passenger and middle row passenger rowe, and the third row of passengers sits behind the windows so they actually don't have Windows to the outside.
The driver does have a sliding window on the left side so that he can pull up to drive-thrus or pay tolls. It appears the same sliding windows are on the second row passenger windows behind the driver as well.
Overall the vehicle looks to be pretty aerodynamic, although I imagine there's quite a bit of turbulence that sets up along the window cutouts since they are flat windows rather than curved to fit the shape of the weiner. It certainly would have been a lot cooler if the windows were rounded on the sides just like the front windows and took the full shape of the vehicle, not to mention being far more fuel efficient if that were the case.
