How Saudi Arabia has so many American cars on the road, mixed in with some European ones we get. I was watching a bunch of videos on the much overdue women driving ban and noticed....

Here’s a screengrab from a video.... I can see a CTS, Citroen C3, a Yukon, Expedition and Silverado.

They also apparently sell the last gen F-250 there as well.

Doesn’t Mexico have both sets of cars, too?

Ye’, lived there for five and a half years in Riyadh with some time spent in Jeddah and Dhahran. In Riyadh we had a Dodge Royal Monaco in like a bronze colour with a white vinyl roof.

But most of the time we were driven in security details of large blue Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60s (they stuck out like sore thumbs, five blue FJ60s in convoy with large British Aerospace logos on the doors).

Never been to Saudi Arabia, but on my short bus ride in Kuwait, the most common vehicle I saw on the highway was Panther bodies.

America loves Saudi Arabia...whether or not they let women drive. Evangelicals and Wahabists have a lot in common.

I’m surprised you know what a Citroen C3 is.
