That is one ugly SUV.:eek:

Roll like P. Diddy in $85,000 SUV

At $75k I'm sorry, but the Gelandwagen is just too f'ing expensive and heavy with that stel body.

At under $40k...

Aluminium body (but big fuckoff steel ladder chassis) and if you are serious about taking the thing off-road, remember that ground clearance is everything.

Oh yeah, incidentally the long wheelbase (5 door station wagon in the pics will carry 11 or 12 people

Like the advert says...

The best 4 X 4 X Far.

Cady is always been better in my book.

Its not all about looks...G class are pure Fuctionallity over form, The people that do buy them, dont give a shit about look. That solid thud you hear when you close the door, thats pure functionality. Personally, i'd buy one if i had an extra 120,000 or so laying around (Canadian Prices...give or take a few...)
G55's can pretty much own anything in their class...You can't compare an aftermarket up the ass Caddilac to a factory SUV....
If your gonna do that, might as well compare a Street Edition Civic Si to a Mugen S2...

shitbox for rollin dubs in

Fucking ugly

I think the G500 is crazy good. It's a tank. It looks badass, and rides ridiculously smooth. My mom drives an M55 AMG, but I made her test drive the G500 first. I liked it a lot more than the M, but she said it was too much for her. Boo

I used to think the Porsche Cayenne was fugly, but after driving along side one the other day, I've got admit I wouldn't mind having one (or at least taking the engine from a Cayenne 'S')

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.

I think Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston own a G500 each, so they must be good.

G500 sucks, G55 sucks, get a G63 :D (although not possible because AMG ran out of te 6.3 liter engines :D)

Uncle has a G500 cab and a G63, he does go extreme off roading and yeah, they can hold their own, VERYWELL! Also a quick run to the supermarket does wonders also because of the whole load of stuff it can haul. And to us, it looks good. Sure they may not have changed in look over the years but it's still killer.

I agree with everything you said except the comfier suspension, the G500 ride is horrible, G55 is even worse, and the 63 is just hell. :(

Wow $75000 for that. I wouldnt drive that if they gave it to me much less pay for it.

Its pretty ugly. Personally, I dont really like how most of the Mercedes look.

People who drive Mercedes don't drive it because it looks nice or performs well, but rather because its a class statement.
