Been thanked: 1 time

We are not talking about me anymore, are we? It's difficult to write in English for me but I'll try to explain what's going on...

I came from a country in which 90% of "highway" could be defined by the UAE as an off-road. Especially in the winter time, when we must help each other to get out of being stuck, because our municipality doesn't have enough cars that open the street from the snow cover.

I had been driving Nissan Pathfinder for years until we decided to move to Dubai. You wouldn't believe how great was this cars' performance on the snow.

Unfortunately, the CM trip showed me that most of my "snow technics" are useless on the sand :) However the main concept of off-roading is still the same: know your driving potential and the capability of your car, read the basement surface and act according to all of this!

I'm still on the VERY first stage. And yes... I was very lucky to complete the trip without any damage, also I was lucky to be the second newbies' car after the leader in the 1st convoy, I was lucky to get some advices from Caprihorse who knew Mercedes well, to get help from the
gentlemen (sorry for my names' memory) who helped me completely disactivate the ESP system... but guys, the rest are my communistic discipline :) and a wish to develop my driving skills. This is who I am :)

Despite of my strong love to Mercedes, I didn't get the concept of this car. Seriously :023:
If it is kind of a mini truck, why would I need luxury inside...
If it is a car for the luxurious off-roading, why would I pay so much for a one/two days a week' hobby?

Definitely I won't buy it!

Concept of this car was finding a way to rip GCC elite class who just for the sake of having 6x6 and G series will buy it.

Besides with this price tag I dont think an average person can have one
