    well they haen't really made any plans for a new rover so my best bet is that they will use the moon buggy v2 but yea they might add some modifications like make them a bit bigger or make them suitable for rockier terrain.

    I imagine that the Ares rovers would be much bigger than Lunar ones.

    ballisticcharge: I know that, I always envisioned the rovers in The Martian as cylindrical, lying horizontally.
