Those of you who are lamenting the lost agility from the HMMV to the M-ATV are missing the point: Agility won't save you from an IED if you don't know the IED is there in the first place!
Better to have a vehicle that can capably motor through hellish terrain so you don't have to take roads if you don't want to. The M-ATV will be less predictable, and therefore less susceptible to IED attack.
Personally I would rather trade maneuvering for something that can actually absorb a blast without requiring extra plates to be bolted into the floors.

I'd hate to think what you eat and drink when you're not watching your weight...
