So this heavy 4WD is quicker than Toyotas new "sports" car? Wouldn't want to buy a new 86 and line up against this soccer mum machine at the lights. How embarassing..

That looks hideous in my opinion.
Don't mind the interior though.

The G63 also quicker then a veyron... And a GT-R does it in 2.8... The point? Who cares... Different cars, different aims, different claims. There is always something faster.

Love the concept of it but damn the G wagon is an ugly box on wheels.

It may look "hideous" but its styling is keeping to its true heritage.

Seem to remember the G class getting quite a sales boost (in Europe or the US) after its appearance in the "Bourne Supremacy."
Must have been some unintended marketing given it was rammed sideways into a concrete pylon.

I'd buy one. I think they look cool. I love a boxy 4x4.
The twin turbo v12 is a monster, but I think I'll prefer the twin turbo v8. V8 amgs always sound amazing. |
