Jeep vs. M151
The Jeep and the M151 are COMPLETELY different vehicles.

This is a Jeep: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bf/JeepwwII01.jpg

This is an M151: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d8/JeepFrontM151.jpg

The two vehicles are so dissimilar it's not even funny. I'll just mention the obvious stuff: The M151 has a steel sheet-metal uni-body structure, unlike the original Jeep which was a steel tub bolted onto a steel frame. Additionally, the grille designs between the two vehicles is completely different. The Jeep was a WWII-era design; the M151 was a Cold War vehicle. The Marine Corps used modified M151s as Fast Attack Vehicles, not Jeeps. They are not the same thing. CeeWhy2 05:17, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

AT 4
an AT 4 is not a rocket Launcher, its technically a recoilless rifle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.110.35.146 (talk) 23:52, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Seal Dune buggy
I found some pictures of the "seal dune buggy", I wonder whether this is a different version of the DPV (exterior appearance seems different; also note the large platforms next to buggy) Then again, I might be wrong as comparisation is quite difficult because of the blackness of the vehicles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.246.180.130 (talk) 09:24, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Fast Attack Vehicle
Considering how the article seems to be concentrated more on the FAV than the DPV, I suggest that maybe we should make a seperate article on the FAV and have this article mainly based on the DPV. Currently also Fast Attack Vehicle redirects here. Nohomers48 (talk) 21:49, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Due to recent changes in the article it is no longer needed to divide this article. Nohomers48 (talk) 06:30, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Source Cleanup
The two articles that I have found are in contradiction. A third source needs to be found to verify which information is correct. Globalsecurities.org state the vehicle has a 130 Hp engine while the about.com article written by a US military contributer, states the vehicle has a 200 hp engine. A third or even fourth article would be very helpful if someone is able to locate one. If not the sources must be evaluated to determine which has a higher credibility on the subject matter. I'm working on it every now and then but feel free to help out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Smith0790 (talk • contribs) 22:14, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Top Speed
What is it now: A maximum of 60 miles per hour as in the Quick-Facts-Box? Or does it travel up to 80 mph, as in the Performance-§ in the text?

And BTW, the aircooled "Volkswagen-Engine": Happens to be a flat-four or what? 46.114.6.106 (talk) 08:12, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
