Sad day: ASC files for Chapter 11 {Autoblog}
May 4th 2007 3:54PM As someone that knows a great deal about this vehicles I will give you some reasons why it failed.
1- It is huge. This truck is not small. Trust me. The fenders and the hood and the overall size. its built off the Silverado platform and its very bulky. Its ancestors were much lighter and compact
2- Engine issues. It came out with the 270hp 5.3 first. Then got a 300hp 5.3 the next year. Then got the 400hp 6.0 corvette engine but was detuned by 5 hp as to still keep the Corvette king. HP was 395.
3- The standard transmission was the 6speed. Terrible throws and very hard to shift. no enjoyment Nat all. Very crude. The 4 speed auto was better.
4- The truck side of it was very limited. Payload was put at 800lbs. Towing was maxed at 2000 lbs.
All this made it a an impractical vehicle.
Holy $#!@ - John Schneider's General Lee sold for nearly $10 million on eBay! {Autoblog}
May 4th 2007 2:30PM Imagine you had 5 large suitcases full of cash sitting in your house. You would be terrified of someone breaking in. Or imagine walking around with a 1000 dollars in your pocket. You would be scared of getting mugged. Yet this car will sit in some guys garage or whse. Ten millions worth. Not money in the bank or in real estate but a car in a garage. He better put a CLUB on the steering wheel. Or better yet, hire a guy at minimum wage to sleep next to it.

May 4th 2007 2:25PM What is wrong with these people? 10 million? I mean do they buy it for 10 million so in 10 years they sell it for 20 million? How much higher can this car go? Only a new money person spends like this. Investors with brains would not lockup 10 million on this.
