Again the CV-90 is a pretty good vehicle but I would not give ti super higher marks over teh M2A3/M3A3.

I personally like it a lot . Will it be as successful as M2 - I doubt it . Not much mech. warfare in near future probably . But as itīs 10-15 years younger it better be better , espec. with this price tag .
BUT as you have
real experience with IFV-s and Iīve only read and drool about them , our experience is not really comparable .
So far only Bradley and Warrior have seen any combat besides BMP-s . All the rest is still quite an open question .
One of my first posts here was about a CV-90 .
