| Dubai...not many nice cars as I thought
This SLR is probably the best I have spotted for the entire week (pic taken at Atlantis)...the car is very dirty and the emblem got stolen 
Some other cool cars I have spotted on the road and at Mall of Emirates...
- Gold-chromed Lexus LS460 (very dirty)
- White CL65
- Blue Bentley Continental GTC Convertible
- Yellow and Blue Gallardo Spyder
- Red Hamann Ferrari 599GT
- few white Phantoms
99.99% of the cars are Toyota Camry, Landcruiser, Yaris sedan, Innova, Previa, Prado, FJ cruiser, some hyundai, A LOT OF Range Rover HST, Jeep Wrangler, some Alfa Romeo and Holden, Chevrolet Avalanche.
gas is only $0.40 per litre there, so Landcruiser and Avalanche are like civic and corolla in vancouver...   |

I thought Abu dhabi was the one with all the nicer cars. Dubai's more of a tourist place but Abu dhabi takes that on a whole different level. Some guy there owns 3 Veyron's.

In Jeddah last year, gas was like 18-20 cents a liter when I did a quick conversion. My driver filled up our Nissan Armada which had something like a 100 liter tank, so we paid about $18 to fill the entire thing up. | |

In the summers here in London, there are often handfuls of supercars here with UAE plates. A friend living in Dubai says the really rich ship their cars over to London when fleeing the hot summers.

[/img] | Wow. That speaks a lot for the avalanche.
Back in the day when I was in Saudi Arabia, the citizen's choice for an SUV was a Land Rover since they are the only SUV (aside from the H1) that can handle desert heat very well. Then came the Land Cruiser. At half the price of the Rover at that time, it can perform well under desert heat all day long without overheating. Thus, the spike of popularity of the Land Cruiser.
