    The Mercedes-AMG G65 is the stupidest car on sale today. The G65 AMG is a $230,000 luxury SUV with a 40-year-old design and a V12 engine -- and the aerodynamics of a file cabinet. I'm reviewing the Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG and taking you on a tour of the G65.

      MrWoodii If it sells so well then its not pointless. Period. Don't fix what isn't broken. So its not outdated. Its a simple clean timeless boxy design. Doug doesn't get it. He makes valid criticisms but fails to realize that its these same very criticms that make it a success. Its crazy. Its stupid. Its pointless. Its ridiculous. And its supposed to be like that. Its because it makes no sense that it makes perfect sense!
      Of course to you and me its outrageously overpriced. But if you really think about it. The people who buy these cars sleep on millions so to them this is pocket change. To them its an investment... The g wagons keep their value very well..... They have a lot of road presence... Since their really is no veichle out there on this same level that exists on the road. And if you go for the 4x4 or 6x6 then you also get incredible off road capabilities.
      So he is right to be angry... J also wouldn't buy this even if I had all the money in the world. But he is overreacting as he fails to understand that its the same reasons he hates it that people like it... And why a market for these viechles exists at all... And why it sells like hot cakes.
