2020 Mercedes-AMG G63 vs The Cheapest AMG G-Class You Can Buy

This is the new Mercedes-Benz AMG G63, and it meets its elder, the 2005 Mercedes-Benz AMG G55, which costs far less and still looks the same. Both are V8s, and both fulfill the role of an icon. But can the old one stack up, and is the new one worth the massive premium? James and Thomas jump behind the wheel of both to experience them and discuss them inside and out. Watch and enjoy.

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

I think I've laid hands on everything in the current lineup. The G-Wagen just feels two cuts above everything else. You can tell they put real effort into the little things and held themselves to a high standard. A lot has to do with how things on the body/interior feel when you interact with them. It really gives you the impression of solidity that you hear so often about.
