[@Squilliam-Fancyson]

my half time job is to put Mercedes G Wagens onto train waggons for export. These cars are produced right next to my workplace in Graz, Austria. I mainly drive G63s and G500s because these are the most wanted configurations ordered outside of Europe. Still enjoy every ride although im not allowed to go around fast corners with these brand new cars. I have also driven the older model G Wagen with the 5.5l biturbo and i really prefer the older ones when it comes to engine power. The 5.5l has such a high torque its very impressive, even compared to the 4l, which is also nice.

[@Squilliam-Fancyson]

@@hxkdneuxbxjdidndnxj not exactly. The G Wagen is build by Magna-Steyr. So the guys there are the first to drive them. Then the cars get loaded onto trucks and brought to us. So to be correct Im the third one:)

[@strykz63]

U know I said the same thing when I first drove the new 4L twin turbo engine. I thought the 5.5L felt much more torquey. The new engine is nice but there was something special about the 5.5L twin turbo, it felt like it was a little more angry, where the new engine feels more relaxed.. just my opinion. I drove both engines in both AMG and regular benz spec and the torque feel was the same respectively

the review is actually the exact thing youve described it isnt. "its obviously a joke", 7 seconds later "its surprisingly good". Constant forced jokes, exagerrating, overexcitement. I guess you forgot, if you even ever watched, the old Harris. He was leagues better then, more serious, less verbal diarrhea, less trying to be funny and entertaining, often not even thinking what he is saying.

If you drive an S-Class, probably people will think you are an hotel chauffeur.

[@xXAlmdudlerXx]

True. But if you only drive a car because you want people to look at you then you have an issue.

[@aaryeshg.6526]

The G Wagen really is for people who care about their image. It just makes you look cool. That's what the G Wagen has come about now. If you want luxury, performance and want to look understated, then it's the S Class to go for.

[@TheSpudlyMcgudly]

@@vaughnsigal4560 I do not know if Chris has a cold or not when this was recorded, only Chris can answer that. What I can confirm though is that if you listen to the audio through headphones it is flat, muffled and distorted, so it's hard to tell (but you are obviously in the know if you say he did). However, suck in front of the camera? He most certainly does not..

[@SilverScarletSpider]

Ever since the hummer died, the G wagon has been uncontested as the posh suv of choice. The wrangler, land cruiser, 4Runner, Land Rover, and FJ cruiser never put up much of a fight against this as a pure status symbol of wealth and excess

Agree with all of you - New Jimny, G-Wagen, Wrangler, Land Cruiser have kept their valuable DNA and "off-road" look. Defender has thrown away all its heritage by stopping production - and will the New Defender look similar to the previous one - like all the above have managed to do?

They wouldn't let me look trough the window not to let me drive one :) It is not about the drive.

The problem is I don't like the look of this generation, especially the daylights, and I quite don't like most of interior as well. But most of all I like the ruggedness of the old one and the V8 kompressor is probably the best engine Merc has ever done and they have plenty of awesome engines...

[@aaryeshg.6526]

Ikr the M113k was a great AMG engine. And the 5G Tronic it was coupled to was more than capable of handling the torque. This engine and gearbox in most of the Merc models in that era (2000-2007) were really nice. 👌
