Hot! Mercedes-Benz, What's Next?

Do you honestly think Mercedes is using cardboard to deaden sound in their cars?

It's BS there is no cardboard in the headliners of any Mercedes models. They use a stamped plastic liner with foam backing and fabric or alcantara covering.

Here is a C class headliner removed.

I’d love to add air suspension on the G, for easy entry.

It really is a climb. I experienced a G when we were in the showroom for our car and I felt so f*cking small next to it, and I’m like 178 cm tall.

Me too. My height is comparable, therefore I always use the Steeringwheel to pull my body into the car.

Another problem are the too slim steps, they’re ridiculous.

The car is BTW almost 2m high.

Exactly! Such a big car. I wish I had one, lol.

Have you ever stood next to a 6x6 G-class? That car is incredibly high, I think about 2.2 to 2.3m. I felt like a dwarf standing next to one. It must be an awesome experience driving one around and people will just stare.

LOL. Sitting way up high can give you a satisfying, "exhalted" feeling.

During by student years (back in The Stone Age), I occasionally earned a bit of "beer and party" money by helping out on furniture/household moving jobs. My driver's licence permitted me to operate trucks up to 7,5 tonnes in weight. So, I sometimes was "appointed" the driver of 7,5T box-on-frame rentals. I really enjoyed that !

No, but I sat in a G63 4x4/2 which is the same height. The view from the drivers seat is awesome.

This car really needs the GLS Maybach style steps.

Funfact the Fiat Ducato and the G have the same height of the seat, about 92cm in the lowest position. You can increase it to almost 1m.

It’s so ridiculous. I love it.
Those 3 spoke wheels are really cool too.

 

[Uygar]

This would be my spec. Insanityyy.

This car releases testosterone.

Checked today. A friend with GLC. Yes , it's cardboard.

Sorry I did not take a photo , but I had my phone on charging. But will make a photo next time I will see him.

And he even has the panoramic roof ( I initially was thinking that this was only on the normal roof )

It's not on the liner ! It's between the liner and the metal . More exactly , glued to the metal sheet

Will come back with proof (picture) . Sorry , I did not have my phone with me

This car doesn’t even need a facelift cause it already looks sick. Just a V8.

They’re wasting time with the facelift.
