Somehow I doubt another Rigger book is due out anytime soon.

BUT I agree that pictures of the vehicles would have been terribly cool. I
know that I've sometimes gone with the lesser vehicle (statwise) simply
because it looked so much cooler. Case in point; old friend of mine went
and has his rigger get and trick out the VW Superkombi. Apparently it fit
the number crunching he wanted to do. Myself, I think's it's horribly
ugly. Me, I'll take the Saab Dynamit anyday. No, it's not a van, no it
can't hold as much modifications (like pop-up turrets) but the Dynamit is
just too damn cool. Even with the fact, I seem to recall, it's stats
dropped with R2.

Give something sleek lines and good (but not necessarily outstanding stats)
and I'll probably pick that over the ugly stat-god.

Unfortunately, it's very difficult to do that if all you have is R2 and
can't refer back to the pictures in RBB.
