GameSpot has whipped up a preview on Digital Illusions' upcoming first person shooter, Battlefield Vietnam. Here's a bit on the vehicles:

Ground vehicles, like jeeps and tanks, seem to handle similarly to those in Battlefield 1942, but they're certainly improved. Even the US troops M151A1 MUTT jeep has three passenger seats: one for a driver, one for a side passenger (who is actually free to fire while moving), and one for the mounted missile launcher. Each side also has an amphibious tank and an amphibious armored personnel transport. Hitching a ride in a transport won't be nearly as uneventful as it was in Battlefield 1942 since you can poke your weapon out of the vehicle's side to fire at passing enemies. The game also features plenty of static ground ordnance in the form of stationary artillery cannons and mortars, which are excellent for bombardment. (At least until a low-flying attack chopper or fighter jet comes in on a bombing run.)

Also, another peview has been posted over at PC.IGN. So check it out as well!
