Re: GL on the Amazing Race

Yeah, I saw them. It seems as though "The Amazing Race" has a lot of sponsorship from Mercedes. In addition to their first leg (stage)series premier of using MB vehicles, they have used the MB Headquarters and nearby test track in Stuttgart a few times as part of their race around the world.

In the future, I would like to see them have a detour or challenge where they use the G-wagen. They have used the ML before. Of course this time was the first time with the GLs. And then there were the Unimogs. There was one of the final stages a few years ago where they had to pick durian fruit in Malaysia and throw it into the bed of one of three Unimogs. In other words, they did not drive the Unimogs.

Re: GL on the Amazing Race

I thought the R-class was considered a minivan, not an SUV. Correct me if thought incorrectly about the R-class. Thanks.

That's one of the main reasons why I watch the Amazing Race. GMC sponsored the show for a season. Wondered what happened to that...

Re: GL on the Amazing Race

I just came back from out of town late Sunday. I taped the Amazing Race. Did you all see those UAZs? That is a Russian made 4x4 that looks similar to a G-wagen.
