I no longer want a pony for Christmas. I want THIS:

I believe you are correct! Notice this video is from ArabMotorsTv. Sure looks like an impressive off road vehicle. This is a great video. I'm sure Roadie would love to have one.

I wonder if you could put a belt on the back two tires and make it a tracked vehicle.

Yep, and skis to replace the front wheels, now that would be a blast on the snowmobile trails

I think Bombardier used to make those back in the 60's...I rode on one of these on a tour of the Columbia Icefields back in 1978 or so:

Not quite the style roadie was hoping for but pricewise, prob cheaper. Hagglunds makes some modern day ones with Mercedes engines as an option, still probably way cheaper.

I think that web page listed it at about $460k.
If you had the $$$, I wonder what it would actually cost to get one over here, shipping and customs, taxes etc.

"For desert travels, the tires can be inflated and deflated from a panel in the cabin."

Nice.
