New G-class

wender · 04-05-2005, 02:30 PM

Is this the new G-class or the new Mercedes Grand Cherokee? WTF
I'm not the biggest fan of the current G as I think it's highly overpriced, but this thing is certainly no better.

Thats the new G Class!? I like the looks of this one much better than the old one. That said I seriously wonder about its off road ability. The old G Class may have been ugly as sin and extremely overprice but it was an excellent off road vehicle. Will it retain its off road prowess? Its looks a lot more fragile to me....

It looks like an M and X5 blend.
I prefer the current G. IT was unique.

HEMI300C · 04-05-2005, 04:27 PM

It lost a lot of its ruggedness, character and uniqueness. However, it still looks very good.

As has been said, I really think the new G-class is what the new ML should have been.

HEMI300C · 04-05-2005, 04:50 PM

I want to know why the one on the right is all camoed but the one on the left is completely unadorned. Wierd.

wender · 04-05-2005, 05:09 PM

So no one else thinks that the side looks just like the new Grand Cherokee?

Buick61 · 04-05-2005, 09:55 PM

The side-window cutouts are Grand-Cherokee-esque. I like it. And I think it does have a ruggedness to it, despite what others said.

And the last one may have been distinctive, but it had all the visual charisma of a VW Thing.

WTF? Wasn't the old G-Klasse a military-looking beast? This is like a spruced up X5. I guess MB thought they had some spots to fill.

AdmiralViscen · 04-06-2005, 11:56 AM

I really liked the old G, and I don't know why they ruined its entire styling theme to make just-another-SUV. It really, really sucks.

However, I see no Grand Cherokee in its lines.

SVT2888 · 04-06-2005, 08:06 PM

Ohh, Look a streached M-class!

86fleet · 04-06-2005, 08:46 PM

Hope GM doesn't try this with the H1

**nsap** · 04-06-2005, 08:49 PM

Woo, I fancy Grand Cherokee!

camaroman22 · 04-12-2005, 07:54 AM
