Ford SYN concept merges SUV with armored cars

Back in September 2003 I posted about Armored vehicles the next SUV. Now it's becoming much closer to reality.

SYN US concept for secure urban parking and driving

Detroit January 7, 2005 Somewhere between an armoured car and a sporty bank vault, the Ford SYN US concept is compact enough to manoeuvre through congested streets yet bold enough to look like it can look after itself. It was designed as an exercise to see what the urban vehicle of the future might look like, with a strong emphasis on security, as the majority of the world's population will live in urban areas by 2010.
