How I miss South Africa, I lived there from 2017 to 2019. This wonderful landscape, the sun, the blue skies, the nature - how I miss it! So painful to see how this wonderful country is destroyed by politics.

Не интересно то что ты говоришь !!! , Где звук двигателя где выхлоп , где соотношение звукоизоляции , где жизнь в твоём видео . Ответ пустое без смысленое кино которых много в KZbin , итог палец в низ тебе , устал перематывать "порожняк".

The GLS is just a FACELIFT of the GL so obviously it won't get the new interior.

Is this thing really safe to drive around Johannesburg? I am wondering whether or not it would attract too much attention?

Agreed on the center console. It looks very dated especially compared to the Audi Q7.
