Is the Unimog U500 still being sold in the United States? I can't find anything in Freightliner's site about it and nothing on the Web in general. Thanks for your help.

Dear Reader,
Because of emissions standards that changed for 2007, the last new Unimogs sold in the U.S. were 2006s. (As future emissions laws change in Europe, though, 'Mogs could return to the U.S.) Freightliner dealers take care of service and parts; they might be able to help you find a Unimog. Contact Unimog North America customer service at 877/701-3000 for information or check out www.unimog-trucks.com/index.php?id=89 for a list of dealers in the U.S. and Canada or www.unimog.net for related links. And if you want to look at some fellow Unimog enthusiasts' rigs, check out our "Readers' Rides" story. Two 'Mogs made the cut this year.
