AK,
Do you have a link for that one you are referring to?.....(yes I have googled and several models seem to show up).... |
It was a version of the bright yellow one that Fernweh posted, with am extended cab and a truck bed. Twin turbocharged V-8, high clearance, bad boy!
Edit; Somehow, my remarks came out as a quote from Motoged! Sorry about that.

because a Unimog is a big effing commercial truck (painfully slow as well) that won't fit on any of the really intriguing Baja trails that lead to
great adventures.

I wasn't even going to waste a keystroke on answering that question..But, speaking of, on my way back from New Mexico last week, I passed a used car
lot that had Unimogs and Pinzgauers on it,,,..I didn't stop...

Well, if you compared them, you would find that the merc is too expensive, and the toyotas are just as capable and much more affordable.
You would also find that only pretentious pricks buy cars north of $100,000 dollars.

It is a rhetorical question. Hell lambo made a 4x4 too. I can't believe you guys took it seriously. Try mixing a little fiber in your diet.

Say, what's the "break point" on NOT being a prick when purchasing a vehicle ... 
Not sure how big this one would "rank" on the prick scale
Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6X6
Here's one in FL ... for $975,000 if anyone is interested in a reclassification

the finer point in the clip is that the rifle is made by the same company as the truck - Steyr in Austria

Navy Seals bought them - Canadian Armed forces bought them (and many other armies) - are you saying that our military is comprised of pretentious
pricks?

Your ard Karls's Mercedes were terrific on the Pole Line Road.
Seeing is believing... The Toyotas, Jeeps and Nissan also passed the test. What failed? The Fords on the trip!

There are pretentious pricks everywhere.
As a pretentious prick, you should learn that "comprised of" is never correct.
P.s. Looks like that merc has an oil leak, eh? Is the seals had bought American 9or Japanese), their suv would not be dripping oil.

yes, the new G-Class models are a bit overpriced
but the quality is beyond anything else you can buy
here is a good example - a couple of guys bought a 1988 230GE G-Class (2.3 liter, 125 horses)
they raced it pretty much stock in the recent Sonora Rally
5th overall - 1st in their class
show me another stock 4x4 that could do this

ok - now go tear me apart

Spending $150,000.00 to $500,000.00 for a Baja vehicle is a bit much especially when you get there and you see a old Datsun rolling rust bucket
collecting the $5.00 to camp there.

what else can I do to make you happy?
can anyone make you happy?

Any of the Toyota 4wds, e.g. Series 70, 4Runner Trd pro, a ford raptor, etc. Many others would be fine rally cars.

what's wrong with people spending too much money on something that they don't need? Cars, clothing, watches, furniture etc. Who cares. It creates
jobs. If everyone would just buy the essentials - you and I
might not have a job.
