What other vehicle could you possible compare that with?

OMG - i can't believe this is real - are you sure it's not just for April fools???? Why the hell would you produce a vehicle which LOOKS that bad, and then photograph it outside of an Opera House?????

I honestly think if this is genuine then whoever did the advertising wants shooting!!!!!!!!!!!

The Unimog has been around for decades, its not meant to look attractive as its purely functional.

That said, that picture has been taken in the same spot as Brabus take their other pictures

It has COMAND so you dont get lost on the way to the shops:

I wouldnt unless you buy lots of land, unimogs are horrible on the road, used to work for a company that had one for helping to erect pylons, once you got on site it was great but getting there was a real chore, makes a series one landrover seem comfy!

Use to have a one eyed cat, never thought to call it unimog!

Go and sit on the naughty step for not believing in the Unimog

I read it has 6 or 8 reverse gears, more than enough for visits to Tesco's I agree but not 22 reverse gears.

It's on my list of vehicles to buy as soon as I win the lottery.:bannana:

Interesting article, thanks.
It reads as if it's not a design fault of the Jackle but of its inappropriate use.
Either way it has to be better than the previously used Snatch LandRovers?

Ahhh, Unimog, a great way to lug your Smart car into awkward places.

Or, just put a Smart on a modified Unimog chassis and get a Smartmog.
