So, we (larson and I) tried spawning a D2 today during "Time To Get Away". We spawned a Comet, a couple of Sentinel XS's, and a bunch of Ruiners but 40 minutes later, no shiny D2. Perhaps they killed the D2 spawn at the LSCs during the last update? I'm going to try this later alone to see if the second player in the mission is making a difference.
The spawn rate was turned way down a few updates ago, but if they still spawn, this is ridiculous.
[update] Tried again, got larson his D2. I was able to spawn a few extra ones as well.

I hear its best to try spawning the Dubsta2 during Denial Of Services, apparently it have some sort of a traffic algorithm that make it spawn more often ... Of course while driving or baiting one.
______
FleeceJohnson25 helped me get my first Dubsta2 recently & I'm grateful to him.
He used Time To Get Away for it & managed to spawn a chrome one for me in LSC burton under 5 minutes... It took me more time get my Buzzard & fly to him than it took him to spawn one. He just rolled into LSC in his & found one from the first try.
I tried spawning it on my own, but I only managed to spawn 3 in DOSs over the course of 3 days ... Using Burton, LSIA & East LS. I managed to spawn a bunch of purple Sentinel XSs, a Rainer, a Sabre & plenty of standard Torandos.
I switched to Sandking XLs afterwards & made a healthy income, but I'll try the Dubsta2 again soon (away for college at the moment)
______
Quick heads up, if you want to replicate a G65, don't use a Dubsta2 ... You can't get rid of the rear Black bumpers.

Actually went Dubsta hunting in denial of service yesterday. I did spawn one but it took a long time. Def not worth it to use as your main source of car sale income inmo.
Still feel the D2 doesn't drive as well as the regular Dubsta. I think that everytime I drive the D2 and lament selling my old regular Dub.

I've time trialed both (full performance modded) and I don't think there is a difference. Out of a lap time of 6:28, I found the difference between the two to be less than a second. GTA Wiki claims the D2 has better performance, but I don't think they know what they are talking about. You oughta have both, I have the regular Dubsta with SUV wheels and chromed out for kicking it in town, while the D2 is set up for off-road. Unfortunately, you can't tell the difference in the name in the mechanic list. You want the back spare wheel, it acts as a spoiler.

It's not necessarily the speed etc that bothers me. The D2 feels stiffer, the drive isn't as smooth. I might fully mod a reg Dub again just to see if my mind is playing tricks on me.

You have to either memorize its location in the garage or keep em in separate properties.

I had never seen the RL vehicle that the Dubsta 6x6 is based, until I saw the Michael Douglas movie "Beyond the Reach" on Hulu recently. The Mercedes is actually a big part of the movie.

I saw a few of them, the thing is hhhuuuugggggeeee in person (I have pictures of them on my instagram page... @ IceDree) _____ The reason you never saw any of them is because the G63 AMG 6x6 is not certified by the NHTSA in the US, thus making it illegal to import & the drive in the US. Brabus found a work around, but I'm not sure what it is exactly ... They could be converting regular G63 SUVs in the US & register it as a Kit Car. Either way, at $1,000,000 a pop, the Sucker is expensive.

I time trialed by D2 again, and got a much better time -- the first time must not have been a clean run. My difference is now 10 seconds, about a 2% difference.

[speculation] So maybe this firesale on the Dubsta 6x6's is because they want to get rid of the them before they bring out an armed version in the next update?
