New Autohome Maggiolina/Columbus tent, the AirTop

Saw a mention of this over on IH8MUD's camping section.
It is listed on the Italian site with an animated GIF too.
http://www.autohome.it/file_gb/airtop.html

No sign of it yet on the US site.
www.autohomeus.com
But the guy over on Mud lives in the states, not sure how he got his yet.

Opens up like a Columbus with gas struts, but is open all the way like a Maggiolina style tent.

First time I have seen this model.
It also has a rear door besides the two on the sides.

The guy on Mud is a dealer for them.
Mike (owner) at the US site for Autohome got a few of them in early.
This dealer got one, and Mike put one on his Land Cruiser 80 series.

The tent is finally on the US site.

Basically like my model but without the scissor lifts at each end, thus giving around 7" extra length inside for the same space outside.
