probably nothing more than 70s goofy eye candy, as any atv now cam likely out do this in anyway possible, but the simple 6 wheel goofyness, is what a lot of people want in a toy for their grand kids to play with on the farm, or in the forest
The Tiger reminds me a bit of a scaled down WW2 German Schwimmwagen. Like the German vehicle the Tiger was also designed to be amphibious, driven thru the water by the spinning wheels. I suspect the six wheel feature was intended to keep it afloat.
MMmmmmm........those float, unlike today's side by sides, ATV's........New one's of similar design are 25k plus......I gave one away with the sale of my M715.
My company has an Argo vehicle like this, with rubber tracks around the wheels. We have a lot of wetlands on our shooting range, so it is useful in case we need to go out in the water, or if the ground is wet.
