I know this isn't really Loopframe related, but what do you all think of the
new Jackal replacement?

I kind of like the tank badges, and blacked out engine cases. The color
schemes are, well, uh, different. And with such catchy names as "Porphyry
Gray." I'm just wondering what marketing genius decided to call their new
model "The California Stone" ???!!!
Most companies try and come up with vehicle names that sound exotic, have
some pizzaz or sex appeal and/or suggest power, speed, or motion. None of
these are qualities generally associated with the typical large piece of
rock.
Its on the official Guzzi site,
http://guzzi.powerhouse.it/eng/california_jac.html, so apparently they are
serious about this.
