G wagon facts : This was first commissioned by the Shah of Iran, who was at the time a significant shareholder of Mercedes. Regarding many articles on the internet yes ! The genesis for the G-Wagon came out of an unrelated but massive 20,000-truck order from the Shah of Iran in the 1970s. A significant shareholder in Mercedes at the time, the Shah's order also stood for a tempting deal. To fulfill the Shah's requirements, the carmaker required external help in its production phase. This led to Mercedes collaborating with Steyr-Daimler-Puch, a military equipment manufacturer based in Austria. SDP built famous war machines like the Pinzgauer, a military transport with available 6-wheel drive systems. Mercedes further extended this collaboration when the Shah suggested that the vehicle be built as an all-wheel-drive SUV for military use in his empire

As a Sergent in RDAF (Royal Danish Air Force) we used these a lot for recon. However....This was in 1990, and they were more like a tractor. Very very agricultural and basic. With a 5 cylinder non turbo diesel engine at about 100hp, the speed was also very agricultural. The upside was, that you could repair them with a brick and a piece of wire.

I think I've laid hands on everything in the current lineup. The G-Wagen just feels two cuts above everything else.

Best car review i had ever seen.. It was a wheelie though.

[@MegaShinobi3]

The development of the G-Class started in 1972 with a cooperative agreement between Daimler-Benz and Steyr-Daimler-Puch in Graz, Austria. The W460 was introduced at a press event held at the off-road proving ground in Toulon, France, and went on sale in September 1979 with three engine choices and five body variants. The first-generation M-Class, designated under the model code W163 is a body-on-frame SUV where production moved to the U.S. plant near Vance, Alabama. Since the original G-Wagon was more utilitarian vehicle, Mercedes had to make the M-Class more car-like for the US Market (No exposed door hinges for example). When I heard they were bringing the G-Wagon back as utilitarian as the version in the 70's( with only a few upgrades) and they expected people to pay many time more then the current GLE line( with is still more suited for the US market, you're not going off-road, you' re going to Whole Foods.).I said to myself nobody who Googled the previous would be ignorant enough to pay that much. I was wrong. The people who fell for this don't research. THEY FOLLOW.

It wasn’t a "cooperation“ Both companies are part of the Mercedes-Benz group.

[@MegaShinobi3]

The development of the G-Class started in 1972 with a cooperative agreement between Daimler-Benz and Steyr-Daimler-Puch in Graz, Austria. Mercedes-Benz engineers in Stuttgart were in charge of design and testing, while the team in Graz developed the production plans. You are partially right, Steyr released a vehicle in 1979 however, named the Puch G not Mercedes Gwagen.@@Tobi-ln9xr I

The 2003 g55 amg looks like the 2018, they just recently made it look like a part of the Mercedes family with the change of the grille

@@marquisethomas5611 even people with understanding of a car, but not familiar with G wagen ,think this is ugly and they can buy it cheap ))) I remember few years back my buddy told me , that there is an ugly square mercedes that no one wants and he would not mind getting one for like $3000-5000 ))) When i told him that these valued at around $70 K used, he laughed and said that im kidding him. Had to open an ebay page to show him the prices)))

@@marquisethomas5611 5 -10 years ago we did not have the new 2019 modelsso that interior of 2003 was OK, Little outdated but still ok, since we have to understand that with body from 1976 there is little MB can do to do changes to its interior. Now when we got the 2019 model with 2 huge LCD the older one just looks like form 18 hundred)) And now i only want new one, However that front grill looks like from a cartoon or suzuki samurai. so i would rather have an old classic body with the new interior )) How is that for a set up ))???

Confession time, I typically watch your videos for the ridiculous intros, but the car reviews are a nice bonus.

[@damilolaakanni]

I was shocked when Doug Demuro said this " SUV with the aerodynamics of a file cabinet"(his words) is *three inches* longer than a corolla.

[@AB-80X]

What Corolla is that? It's 12" longer than a normal Corolla hatchback.

[@damilolaakanni]

@@AB-80X I guess the sedan. He didn't say which one.🤷🏽

[@AB-80X]

@@damilolaakanni Perhaps. But so much more make the G much bigger than many cars. Width is a big factor, and the G63 is 199 cm wide without mirrors. Very few cars are that wide. Reality is that outside of a Burp or Yukon XL, few SUV's are as big. Length is rarely an issue when you live with a car, but width is. Not quite sure how he adjusted the seats in this video, but rear legroom is plenty big in the back of the current G63. He is tall, but even for his height he seems to have long legs. Wondering if he was just trying to find something interesting to say.

thats why they included the 20k

[@Madelong0063]

this is my dream car, and for some reason i continue to prefer the front of the 2013 and previous versions of the G wagon series. the new one lost its classic and dominant look, at least the front.

[@I_can_hear_you_not]

*Vs the cheapest G Class AMG

[@lookingjust987654321]

This is why I happily bought a 2011 Cayenne S with nearly loaded features (only missing moonroof, turbo and air suspension) for $18,500 in late 2020. Cuz I also know for sure that it rides, drives and is faster. I can't think of one thing its missing except newer electronics... just mind blowing status stuff here lol. At least high end lambos and mclarens are faster overall than a 'vette.

[@BehzadRad]

G wagon facts : This was first commissioned by the Shah of Iran, who was at the time a significant shareholder of Mercedes. Regarding many articles on the internet yes ! The genesis for the G-Wagon came out of an unrelated but massive 20,000-truck order from the Shah of Iran in the 1970s. A significant shareholder in Mercedes at the time, the Shah's order also stood for a tempting deal. To fulfill the Shah's requirements, the carmaker required external help in its production phase. This led to Mercedes collaborating with Steyr-Daimler-Puch, a military equipment manufacturer based in Austria. SDP built famous war machines like the Pinzgauer, a military transport with available 6-wheel drive systems. Mercedes further extended this collaboration when the Shah suggested that the vehicle be built as an all-wheel-drive SUV for military use in his empire
