While it's true the Detroit Auto Show is underway, attracting automotive journalists from around the world to a little place known as "Motor City", another event - this one known as the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) - is also well underway, attracting to it legions of tech aficionados by offering up the latest in electronic wizardry.

One piece of the aforementioned electronic wizardry is the vehicle pictured before you - the Alpine Imprint RLS.  Based on the Mercedes R-Class, the RLS is undoubtedly the most noteworthy rendition of the four wheel drive minivan to date.  Highlights include 30" rear wheels (26" wheels up front), swing pivot doors with seating attached, custom leather interior and a rear Mercedes emblem that grows erect with a gentle, loving touch.

But what fun is reading about the Alpine Imprint RLS when you can watch a video demonstrating its many features for yourself?  To learn more, head over to Alpine's North American website where you can find a fifteen minute video of the vehicle in question's grand unveiling.

Enjoy.
