G-Class (W463) Mercedes G-Class could stick around until 2020

[-=Hot|Ice=-]

The Mercedes G-Class is an icon from a bygone era, but the model's popularity will reportedly ensure it will remain in production for years to come.
According to Automobilwoche, Daimler and Magna Steyr are close to signing an agreement that will keep the legendary off-roader around until 2016. There's even word that the contract could be renewed to go as far as 2020.
Regardless of the final terms, Mercedes is working on an updated model that will have a significantly improved interior with a new instrument cluster, a revised center stack and an updated COMAND system. We can also expect a new G63 or G65 to replace the G55 AMG.

No it doesn't.

It could mean they stop making it in 2020, and I want this car to last as long as MB does itself.

I love the G-Class, but I would love to see an updated exterior.

I'm glad some things are still sacred in the car world. I'd love to own a car that goes unchanged for eternity during a continuous production run. Although I don't love or not love the G necessarily, doing that means it's the epitome of holiness.
