Guys, please stop the Qatari bashing, some of the replies here are idiotic...

A landcruiser has never been a "Status Symbol" for Qataris, a LC is priced between 150k and 200k, and everybody has one!!

A "Status Symbol" would be a car worth more than QR 400k, something like a Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bentley, And High-End Porsche, Mercedes, BMW .

It is the most convenient car to drive here on-road, and off-road (not much difference between on-road and off-road in Qatar).

It's usually white because it doesn't get very dirty with all the dust storms.
