Looks like a good ride, but the problem is, if I bought it, I’d have no place to park my Corolla. ---

I buy SUV’s for it’s utility like towing a camper, picking up a new Washing machine. I don’t know too many people who have the money to buy one would actually use it for what I use mine for. I surely wouldn’t. ---

That isn’t anywhere close to the most expensive SUV in the world. The Dartz Pombron Black Dragon Special Edition went for 7 million, and it didn’t even have the whale foreskin leather seats that previous Dartz SUVs did. Although it did have a diamond and ruby-encrusted gold grille ornament. 😉 ---

> [@shadowfax](#): > > a diamond and ruby-encrusted gold grille ornament lol… reminds me of an upscale restaurant here in San Jose catering to holder’s of business expense accounts , stories go that it offers a $2,500 lunch: Steak, salad, and diamond bracelet. ---

And looks like an enlarged Suzuki Samari. At least from a distance. ---

More accurate to say the Samurai looks like a shrunken G-wagen, because Mercedes has been making it since the 70’s. ---

> [@shadowfax](#): > > and it didn’t even have the whale foreskin leather seats I’m guessing you wouldn’t want to do a lot of shifting around in those seats…you might not be able to get out when you get to your destination… 😉 ---

Considering what it looks like, I wouldn’t want to be seen going to any destination in it in the first place. 😉 ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/2X/5/59b7e316037225ebe6507fc455f9da9f02068519.png) ---
