Just what we need. A truck that is even bigger and less fuel efficient than the Hummer. It's the Navistar CXT:

The new CXT -- short for commercial extreme truck and built from the same platform as the heavy-truck maker's typical tow truck or cement mixer -- will be sold starting this week by Navistar's International Truck & Engine subsidiary.

At 258 inches, or 21-1/2 feet long, the CXT is about 4-1/2 feet longer than the new Hummer H2 pickup, and about 2 inches longer than the F-350 Crew Cab.

But the way it really towers over what's on the road now is in height. At 108 inches, or 9 feet, the CXT stands only a foot below a basketball rim and more than two feet above the Hummer or the F-350.

"It's not going to fit into the standard garage," said Mark Oberle, a spokesman for Navistar, based in Warrenville, Ill., outside Chicago. "We can see it as a vehicle for business people who want to make a distinct impression. For personal use, it's for people who want to make a statement."

That statement it'll be making? "I'm an asshole." I'll really feel comfortable with some jerk tailgating me with one of these while I'm in my little Toyota Echo. I'm not one to advocate destruction of others' property (usually), but anyone who buys one of these deserves to have their windows and headlights smashed.
