So I was looking around and saw the Mercedes G-Class. I must say, from the front, it sorta has a stance like our Discos. It does look attractive and very utilitarian-like.







I also saw some videos of people talking it off roading. Of course with this vehicle cost over $100k, I would rather cruise the city. (Thats if I make 150k a year)

But I am curious on people's thoughts of this SUV and its capabilities. For sure this car tops our Disco in luxury but not off roading.

 

The G-class (which started out as being called the G-wagen, I don't remember the full name right now) was a very capable off road vehicle at one point. Now they are more status symbol than the off road vehicle the started out to be. I would say the true G-wagen was very comparable to a Defender in ability and utility.

 

All I know is, at one point Nicole Ritchie and Paris Hilton each owned one.

That's all ive got.

 

= G-class FAIL

 

You do math well, very well.

 

Like AK said the G-Wagon was a great off raoder, it was originally a military truck with locking diffs, t-case, PTO, two speed reverse, hi/lo t-case, all aluminum body, solid axles front and rear...it would have blown the Series Rover out of the water.
I have sat in a early 1980's and it had as many levers as a farm tractor with a 3-point hitch, front bucket and front and rear PTO's.
Look them up on youtube, they are pretty freaking sweet.
