I think the whole idea about the G-wagon is its pure utilitarian design. You don't need aerodynamics in the jungle/forest/desert, it's exterior is a result of interior functions. For Mercedes to make it a luxury vehicle is simply cashing in on a growing and lucrative fad. Unfortunately, yuppies do buy them for the status, they may not ever go off-roading, but they know if they wanted to... they could. Mercedes doesn't give a shit, sure, throw in leather and a comfier suspension, as long as they sell it doesn't matter what's done with them afterwards. Either way, a real g-wagon is an amazing peice of machinery, but the point of a utilitarian vehicle is that its necessary. If you're driving through the shit everyday, and you want something that's going to last two decades, buy one, if you're not... buy a corolla.
