The Mercedes guys seem to venerate them much the same as some of you
folks do the Synchros.  I believe they're considered to be one of the
most capable offroad rigs around, but apparently they're no fun to
drive around at anywhere near freeway speeds.  When I lived out on the
farm, I briefly considered buying one to perform as an ag-tractor. 
They're also used in that capacity over in Europe.
