Interesting article by Ralph Peters from 1997. If you noticed from the photos and descriptions of the GCV is the sensors or similar capabilities. Anyways, take a look at his article on the future of armored warfare:

Whenever there's talk about 'future tanks' keep in mind that it's likely only about Western future tank projects or even only about requirements.
Meanwhile East and South Asia is mass-producing the classic MBT and (thinly armoured) IFV categories and judging by the numbers they define the future of tanks.
I really wondered how long it would take GM to put tracks on the Stryker and try to market it as a viable option for the GCV. I don't know this for a fact - total speculation.

At least the US has some scale to work with, which can't be said of the Italian efforts in this direction.
