Literally just saw one of these do a small acceleration on the road and the way the front lifts is WILD to see. Also the exterior noise when it idles is oh-so-nice. Its also not that big for a modern SUV which is super nice. If I had f-you money id have one as an offroader without a doubt.

One of the devellopment guys said they had the specific requirement to keep the door sounds and the door lock sounds from the old one. As people just find them so iconic that the "new" version (in 2018) had to have that, despite the materials being partially different.) So there is thought and purpose in these sounds in the new/current one. edit: and in real life, i never get tired of seeing one of the AMG ones (being tested by the factory) accellerating full on. Them lifting the front looks so great, funny, insane and mighty at the same time. edit2: 16:58 Yes it will have that feature. (and where i live, it seems the elctric one might be cheaper than the Diesel or gasoline one as it doesn't have the extra fuel consumption tax...)

I've always had this weird affinity for the G-Class, but have never particularly enjoyed driving/riding in them; to me, they felt exactly like their platform and style would suggest. Still, they were extremely durable and novel, so hey, it was hard to argue too much! Then I drove a 2022 G 63 and my perceptions were immediately changed! The refinement took a definite step forward, the chassis became even more situated and planted - it felt (slightly) less like a big Wrangler, and way more tank-like. The interior upgrades made an absolute world of difference, and the minute bits we'd interact with felt considerably more ergonomic and modern. Brakes definitely were touchier than I expected, but had a good amount more positive feedback than more typical Bronco and Wrangler counterparts. The power train is intoxicating. It just has this unbelievably uncanny ability to be the comfortable and durable grocery-getter, and then be the most raucous, rambunctious, ridiculous V8 4X4 monster in the same breath. It's genuinely wild! Even past AMG G-Classes just didn't quite hone that in as well, and more "typical" AMG models like the C 63 or E 53 are almost expected to be that solid all the time, so it's never a surprise! After my own drives, I love seeing how experienced drivers respond to these things, and it's always great to hear your takes and see where you find each vehicle's niches and unique attributes. Keep it up!

@PretentiousBrownie6 ай бұрын
They're pretty commonplace here! Sometimes there are still yield signs and not formal stops, but the runways are so short, steep, and immediate that they nearly always constitute a stop I dunno if you live nearby to where Tedward drives, or one of the surrounding states/regions, but for folks like Tedward and myself and Mass drivers, on roads where most traffic is hovering between 68-80 MPH, having those immediate exits on the short merge lanes for on-ramps makes a lot of Mass roads a real nightmare to get on/off. We just gotta be cautious and stop in those cases. Rt. 2 is a good example of this - some stretches have short exits, some have long exits, and it's a road that Tedward frequents in his drives, so you might see both on one road! Hell, Rt. 2 is a highway that has intersections and traffic lights on it! Then you have highways like Rt. 3 with all these looooong, sweeping exits and on-ramps that give enough space for a Toyota Yaris to hit 100 before it even has to merge! There's no rhyme or reason to it 😂
@unnamedfornow23816 ай бұрын
@@PretentiousBrownie Alright, thanks for explanation. To be clear, I live in Europe and here they teach you to step on gas pedal if thats what it takes to accelerate to traffic speed as fast as possible, so Stop sign was a little unnatural to me. And now I just realised that my comment might seem a little offensive, so I will make myself clear: I'm not saying "AmErIcAnS aRe BaD, eUrOpE bEtTeR", I think US can't really risk having more detailed (therefore harder) requirement for It's drivers or tighter (therefore more expensive and less common) infrastructure regulations because It's so much more reliant on vechicle transportation compared to places like Europe. I don't like overgeneralisation, because It's not representative of individual. So yeah, TLDR is "Alright, I didn't think of that like this, BTW no offence".
@PretentiousBrownie6 ай бұрын
@@unnamedfornow2381 Oh no, you're good - no offense, no apologies, nothing like that! It's perfectly valid! Most places in the US are similar to what you describe, and most of our driver's manuals/driving instructions will say exactly that; accelerate to the rate of traffic and merge safely, etc. We just have these obnoxious and glaring issues and terrible inconsistencies with our infrastructure! For such a car-centric society that barely caters to foot travel, bicycles, mass transit, and high occupancy, we're still comedically bad at designing and supporting our roadways Granted, a lot of the roads people frequent for interstate travel or super high volume traffic will be similar to what you expect, but then we do have these odd two or three roads and highways that just leave you scratching your head as to why planners thought that solution was the best they could do If you ever do make it stateside, you'll definitely find some funky, weird stuff about our roads!

It loses its off-road ability to give you the performance running gear and it is too heavy and tall to take advantage of that great drivetrain. As you say, it makes no sense. It seemed to make you giggle so clearly there is some perverse joy that comes from it.
