Luke,
thanks, indeed nice links. In my opinion what can be more noisier and slower then a Series III with dieselengine? We took one of these to The Gambia and I can live with the lack of comfort, the noise and slow progress.
You are right when you state that one doesn't really need a 4X4 for travelling even in the desert, but on the other hand if you are driving one, so much more beautifull places not to be reached by 2WD can be visited.
In the end everything comes to taste. I really like the design of the unimog and then you are more eager to forgive its downsides ; don't you think?
Greetz,
Kar El
