    You don't want a Unimog? Unimogs are a beast. How can you not find those sexy with those big beefy axles? :cool:

    I wouldn't mind owning one.

    I think that is a bit too much car for me. If I had a use for it to haul things, then yes. In that case though I'd just buy an old truck :D Aesthetically I do not like the look.

    Unimogs have rugged good looks. They are sexy for what they can do. They are a beast.

    Is he going to be driving this in the next Terminator movie? Doesn't look like it moves too fast but it seems to fit otherwise.

    Man he is really cruising. Vehicles that big are a true ride. A Mercedes too, man, he probably thinks he is a God. Arnold is truly a cool celebrity, he is out there.

    Okay after viewing part 1 of that youube video, I am impressed by its capabilities. It is ugly, but YES it is a beast! I was shocked how it handled that uneven terrain considering how narrow the vehicle is..I would have thought it would have tipped over. Gonna watch part 2 and 3 now..I almost want one now lol :D

    This car looks so great rolling on, the horrid side is the individual driving it.

    While I was a former of fan of such individual, his politic affairs made me hate him cordially.

    But still the Mercedes looks great!

    This Unimog definitely performs good and rolls like a beast (something that Arnold will like) but it's not going to win any beauty price.

    Wow, these things are more terrible looking than a Hummer. I bet they can hog some gas up. I'm more of a car guy myself, but to each their own I guess. :)

    What's the point of even owning such a vehicle aside from being a status symbol?

    I would love driving that thing home from work...I would be inclined to smash people off the road though when they are driving like idiots, haha. That thing is monstrous! What does it get, like 2 miles per gallon?

    Reminds me of the old "Canyonero" commercial from The Simpsons:

    Some people use them off road. I would say that most people that buy them do so because then can use them.

    So Arnold has marital troubles and then goes out and buys himself the biggest, most expensive thing on 4 wheels. Coincidence? I think not :lol:

    That car is for the very masculine, wrestler type of men. It looks a lot larger and bulkier than the hummer. A girl driving that car would look very awkward in it. :speechless:

    I like when women drive big 4 wheel drive vehicles.

    I would definitely drive a mercedes unimog if I were living in a hilly or rocky area. I would also have to be in a profitable business too if I were to drive one of those, because of gas. Doesn't Arnold own a military tank, lol?
