Arnold has a diesel Unimog

Arnold Schwarzenegger gets the keys to a $250,000 Mercedes Unimog | Motoramic - Yahoo! Autos Pretty cool I think. I hope he uses it for its intended purpose

Good new for those of you with 250,000 USD burning a hole in your back pocket if Arnold sets a precedence then it will be easier for you to import one too.

Far more classy than a Hummer. Infinitely less likely to get you cut off in traffic.

Gut fur you, Ahnald

What are the mileage statistics of the HMMV H1 vs this UNIMOG model? I'll bet the UNIMOG gets better mileage per weight.

Likely MUCH better, they can't afford to go around getting 5MPG in places where Unimogs are used. The H1 is rediculous.

They probably have a similar fuel burn, and who gives a crap?
