That was the best political correct without using many choice word and keeping in respect for Ramadan the description for the driver that can be called a Bu Jasim As mentioned the most popular name for the LC in the region is Station. 1 minute ago, Rahimdad said: I remember PR naming his Land Cruiser as Elsie, much later I realizes that he is referring it to as LC. Hahaha. Yes took me a while to make that connection myself. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmanuel Posted May 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 If someone knows a local nickname for Xterras, I would be glad to hear it. I was also asking myself : there are no famous nicknames for Pajeros ? Wranglers ? Cherokees ? Prados ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xterras : Al Tabaan : The Tired one LOL on a serious note, these vehicles have no cultural impact on the region what so ever so they are pretty much ignored. When was the last time you saw a local shabab driving a Pajero or Xterra. Prados started off well but then were demoted now rarely seen with a Shabab on board. Specially for harakat purposes or off road Specially after they killed off the SWB V6. And introduction of the FJ. The wranglers and Cherokees really didnt take off with the local crowd until the 2000s. Mostly popular with the expats until then, so they have yet to achieve any iconic status. But unfortunately both wet killed oft and replaced with crappy versions before they could, so doubt they ever will. Not real fans of anything after the XJ and TJ. Regardless of what happens the Kngs here will always be Neyzan and Station. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahimdad Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Only heard one Nick name for the xterra. Nothing comes to mind with the Prado. But the ardent Jeep lovers always refer to their Jeeps with the first 2 alphabets their Chasis numbers starts with. So the Wranglers start with the YJ from 1992 to 1997, TJ from 1998 - 2007, JK from 2008 - 2018, JL 2019 onwards. The old Jeep Cherokee is referred to as the XJ. Commander was XK. Jeep Grand Cherokee of the old was the WJ if I'm not wrong. And the newer Cherokee was the KK after which Cherokee became like run of the mill AWD. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
