G-Class [Official] Mercedes-Benz G-Class (W464)

[Swissbob]

I'm honestly amazed Mercedes hasn't made a G Pick-up. It would sell absolutely gangbusters in the US.

With a long overhang?

 

[Swissbob]

Interestingly that’s not even the AMG.

Carscoop has stated that the G Cabrio is “a “special edition.” This implies production will be limited and pricing will be astronomical.”

I thought that it would be a normal production car?

Normal Production, otherwise the prototypes would be AMGs.

If it were a special edition, there would be no point in extensive testing and no need for lengthy launch preparations. This will be a car with a long lifespan.

I guess it’s the spiritual successor of the S convertible.

 

[Merc1]

I don't understand the desire/push to make it out to not be a normal production vehicle. It will be as limited as the regular G is vs other Mercedes products.

As I said, normal production vehicle.

TBH I prefer the G63, and as far as I know it should be offered on the EU market, but anything will do, If there’s only one of the lesser models I am fine with that.

It is unbelievable how many different styles of G-class are out there and I have big liking to this classic luxury style CARLEX Vintage version. It's got some brilliant body colour hubcaps.reminiscent of those used on Mercedes cars of the 60s and 70s.

My favorite

It’s Mercedes’ biggest star right now and the madness at the dealerships starts all over again when the Cabriolet appears.

They can sell a really bare bones model and sales would pop again. It still looks good and is more in touch with its roots.

I fully agree.
I have different informations, some say it’s coming in 26, others 27.

 

[Merc1]

Since they've already teased it, I would say its coming some time this year. Brabus pretty much previewed it already.

Best Video of the G so far.
But please note he compares it with the 2012 G63 with 2 live axles.

The biggest step came 2018/2019 with the new model, the Mopf in 2024 improved things further with the optional SL Suspension Technology.
But my dealer told me the standard suspension is still the same like the pre Mopf, the AMG Active suspension is as Harry said still an option.

That active suspension needs to be in all versions. I wonder if it's being held back because the piggyback canisters for the hydraulics are to exposed for off-roading.
Wonder if they can sure that up in the future.

My thoughts exactly. These things are sticking out like acne on a teen. Scrape that over a rock and you're toast and likely 10k poorer.
With that said, I absolutely love this car so much. What a perfect machine. Just look at it.

But please note he compares it with the 2012 G63 with 2 live axles.

Which is the previous version and f#cking 15 years old. Harry is becoming a demented old man comparing the new active suspension to that.....actually the whole video is based off this premise. Wild.
