  • The second generation of the G-Wagon is finally here. This is the first time since 1979 that we have a new generation of the G-series. Under the hood you will find a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 producing 416 HP & mated a 9-speed automatic. The G550's exterior is wider and longer but still retains it's classic look. On the inside you will find an update not on in materials but also technology. Is the the 2019 Mercedes Benz G550 the ultimate SUV worth it or overpriced?

    @james2042 4 года назад +1

    "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should."
    Is really my only way of describing this. It's like everything you could possibly want in a vehicle, but formulated in a way that's useless to literally every potential buyer. If I was looking for an offroader, I'd get a wrangler or 4runner (or probably a SxS or quad). If I was looking for a tow machine I'd get a much more capable pickup or much more comfortable crossover depending on my towing needs. If I was looking for a luxury vehicle, I would just get literally whatever crossover from benz lineup that's actually comfy on the road and drives like a street vehicle. (That has all the same amenities and then some)
    But for some reason, this thing sells good enough to justify not only it's high price tag, but its production in general. I honestly can not justify this thing in any meaningful way, yet it's still a flagship along side the maybach.
    But with RAM of all companies making luxury vehicles better than anything Cadillac (or any gm brand) can produce and is going head to head with lincoln and the germans, while Hyundai, a notorious economy car brand, is now redefining the price brackets of luxury vehicles overall since the creation of genesis and the palisade, is nicer than most luxury 3 row crossovers. It's just a crazy time for automotive world and its amazing who's actually making the innovations. And that's ignoring the electric revolution on the horizon being led by tesla and soon to be all electric volvo.
    Bonus points if you know who said that quote and what movie it's from

    What you did not talk about or may not have noticed, but the little plastic part behind the rear wheels and in front of the rest bumper that sticks out. It is designed to comply with laws that the wheels should not stick out past the body.
    Also, that to lock and unlock the car, you need to use the key.

    This is the most overpriced, overrated, and useless fkn ride there is. In the shop 24/7. No different than the old one. Why review something so useless that no one wants or buys

    It's conspicuous consumption for narcissists, but who am I to judge?
