Hot! Mercedes-Benz, What's Next?

[Uygar]

Indeed and it's felt quality is in fact mediocre. Keyword: rust.

Really? Not rich enough to experience a G-Wagon unfortunately. One day I will though!

 

[Swissbob]

The felt quality of the interior is superior to a W223 If you tick the right boxes.

I’d like a softer suspension though.

I have driven and sat in a few G 63

I think they are built very solid and well made definitely the top tier

But compared to GLE/GLS they’re too stiff. TBH.

 

[Mick Briesgau]

Not an issue on the 463a and 465.

I don’t care about status TBH.

Of course, Bob. Wasn't talking about you, but the few people I know who drive G.

Isn’t that normal though? At its core G-Wagon is just a very powerful and luxurious off-roader. I wouldn’t expect it to be as comfortable as a GLE or GLS, especially when the latter is basically an SUV version of the S-Class (which I believe it’s nothing but a bigger GLE, but that’s a different conversation).

You‘re right.

And I also agree that the GLS should be more special. At least the Maybach really delivers.

I checked out the configurator. The combination of the night package and progressive line doesn't look bad.

It’s the unibrow and the protruding grille that makes it look bad

Well of course, but people like you are the minority. %99.9 of the time buyers of the G-Wagon are just rich moms and rappers.

Outdated nonsense.

Thank you very much

I am a simple Mercedes nut, I have to admit.

 

[martinbo]

Mar-a-Lago face - now available in Mercedes Benz.

Oh please. What kind of people buy a G-Wagon then? I don’t see people getting it as their daily family car. It has a really specific target audience and that’s not even an opinion, just a fact.

I use mine as a grocery getter.

I am not kidding. 15mpg at the moment.

Well that’s the ultimate goal, lol. You’re the minority though, as it’s just people’s way of saying “I have f*ck you money”

 

[Swissbob]

I use it because I think it’s a practical daily driver.

Big trunk, excellent visibility, it’s short so it fits in shorter parking spaces.

As I once wrote, it’s the successor of my EV, which I also used as a grocery getter.

If I meet with business people, the image of the G might be a problem.

For me personally the Image of the G is sometimes really annoying, this I must admit.

But nobody cares about a Mercedes Benz Van or an E-Class convertible.

 

[Uygar]

Perhaps an AMG version of the GLB could look like this. Also will there be one actually?

 

[leylandi]

No. Only GLA and CLA

 

[Swissbob]

No. Only GLA and CLA

And only EV with Yasa motors and a lot of power.

Shame.
