    Don’t know where you live, but Im seeing more and more of them. Quite a few at the Croatian coast where I am right now. All kinds of EU licence plates.

    So many in fact, I was chilling and thinking how hard it would be to start an eu initiative to ban cars with such a bad field of view.

    Now I find out more are coming?!

      Quite a few in Austria, too. Mostly Rams. I remember one with license plate along the line of “Love USA”, then one with a sticker “HATERS HOTLINE 0800-321-EAT-SHIT”. A great tell that only assholes with insecurities drive these.

        The bigger models might also be too heavy to be driven with a regular (car) driver’s license. With a B Class the max weight is 3500 kg.

        You are right, they won’t be such a massive hit as in the US, but seeing a few of them use multiple parking spaces also won’t be a calming sight.

          On the other hand, take a cue from a few US cities where parking spaces are kept too small for these monstrosities. Fines for double parking could become a nice revenue stream

      you might not be able to ban them, but you can make the owners regret using them in public
