  • Few production vehicles are as iconic as the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon. Despite its age, Mercedes continues to attract celebrities and very wealthy clients into its showrooms. While an all-new G-Class is coming at the end of this year, the current model still has the looks, prestige, off capability, and refinement to go toe to toe with the best luxury SUV's money can buy. Just be sure you don't actually need to carry too many people in the back seat or need something that actually gets over 20 MPG on the highway.

    It’s supposed to be inspired by its old history, but that’s no excuse to not include modern tech. It’s 2018 already and the g wagon should have all the tech in it

    interior is pretty updated imo. consider this thing is 40 years old. I'd love to own one, but can't afford it. If apocalypses come, this or any G-Wagon would be the truck to be in.

    To be honest, this car is a car that you would BUY for fun and for joy. Not for daily duty. Yes to prove my point, the materials aren't as lovely as other MB products, some old school features like no push button start on this particular model, no auto up windows, only down, no smart key access, and no felt lined glove box. But overall, if I had the money, I would DEFINITELY buy this car no matter what because of how much fun it is to drive

    @EricFortuneJr. 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    There’s something about the old school flare that reassures you that this truck is capable, solid and dependable. Who needs smart entry anyway?? It doesn’t always respond to the key fob even when you try to start it up. I’d prefer it if a lot of manufacturers would retain at least one model throughout their lineup kept this traditional approach.

      The body itself is strong, but like other SUV’s the unsafe thing about it is the rollover risk. It’s not aerodynamic at all and when I drove a G63, I could feel the terrible body roll.

    @grandemage 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Expensive icon of mediocrity. No, given the choice (wealth considered), I think I'd take a Grand Cherokee Overland or a SRT-Trackhawk for fun over this. At around $128k starting price, it's laughable to think of this as anything more than a city car since taking it off-road or long highway trips is just a waste of money at it's finest.

    A banner for excess and conspicuous consumption but it will offroad on trails that no other vehicle can and its stupid fast. Its also made by the same company that makes the famous Austrian space age rifle. Though completely politically incorrect, what could be cooler than that? The new one adds a little refinement but its still just as inappropriate and ridiculous. I would never buy one but Id love to take one for a spin in a jungle somewhere.

    I’m really not trying to be mean but I don’t understand why the fuck someone would buy this piece of shit. I would rather buy a 2018 Audi S7 then this any day. The gas mileage is awful and it starts of over 100 grand? I don’t think so.

    Ugly, wayyyy over priced, certainly not worth it. Can't stand that piece of shit.
