Which one ? (there's two) |
◊ 2006-12-24 16:50 |
Both. I thought that they were the same model except the grille. Lets say that this page is for the one on the left, and if needed I'll create another page for the other one with the additional picture. |

I guess they're both Suburban's. The left one is just newer type. |

There is a 1997 through 1998 model, Ford Expedition "Eddie Bauer" Edition, next to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Wouldn’t it be somewhat rare in the Russian area...??? I couldn’t find any filming locations for this movie. -- Last edit: 2007-04-11 02:52:40 |

This is a Russian film, probably filmed entirely in Russia. As for Suburbans, they're probably rare in Russia, but relatively common among newly-rich businessmen and gangsters. For what it's worth, there must be a market for American SUVs in Russia because the Tahoe and TrailBlazer are sold new there: http://www.chevrolet.ru/ |

I am not sure that these cars are so rare in Russia. As they use Ford Crown Victoria as police cars, I suppose that other US cars were imported. |

I always assumed that American Sport Utility Vehicles were not well-liked overseas and therefore did not sell well. I know that some American SUVs’ were pulled from being sold overseas. That’s why I asked. |

I have seen Suburbans and Expeditions used for security purposes overseas, such as to transport VIPs and such. They're big and even when armored are still good vehicles. |

I noticed the Ford Expedition and the two Chevrolet Suburban’s looked as if they were escorting the Mercedes. |
◊ 2007-04-12 00:10 |
Yes, they're being used in relatively big numbers over in Iraq right now. |
◊ 2007-04-12 00:46 |
I think that these SUV were stopping the Mercedes rather than escorting it... well, I am not sure, I forgot |

I gather your memory isn’t all that great... I can’t seem to remember all the things I need to get done during the week. It’s pretty bad when a Daily Planner doesn’t help. |

If it's big, impressive, expensive and preferably armour-plated the biznesmeny and gangsters will buy it. Not only American SUVs (even Hummers) but also Rolls-Royce Phantoms, Bentleys, Mercedes-Benzes (the bigger the better), top of the range Range-Rovers, M-B M-klasses and BMW X-5s. |

I've heard the W140 S-Class was extremely popular with Russian mafia types, it was to them what the Cadillac Escalade is to American rappers. I once saw a program that interviewed Semion Mogilevich (one of the most powerful gang bosses in the world) and at the end he rode away in a chauffeur-driven armour-plated W140 S600. -- Last edit: 2007-09-15 14:16:05 |

P999XC77 is actually a '94 Suburban. It appears someone got Neptune's comment about the Ford Expedition mixed up. |

Can you get the VIN? If not don't worry. [GMT410]. |

Plate now on a 2016 Range Rover, so no luck there. |
