G-class forum?

[Morpheus XIII]

The quiet specialty importers of the military Gelaendewagon have been bought out. Mercedes now sells this piece of mastery in its own lineup after viewing its unprecedented popularity. I still can't believe there isn't a thread already for this vehicle (if there is, sue me). Although the new G500s have S-class-like interiors, they are still all the German muscle that the orignal G-wagons used to be.

I agree, awsome looking truck.

Welcome to AF!

Say, which do you think would be better at 4-wheeling? This Mercedes, or the Land Rover Defender 90?

[Inthezone]

I'm not a 4 wheeler myself, never driven off -road, but I would think the Land Rover Defender.

warren sapp that plays for the bucs has that car. I even saw it when he was having his 4 10's put in. I believe he even had a prototype of it.

[Morpheus XIII]

Probably not a prototype, but more likely the original Gelaendewagon, which could be imported in the past through special dealers for about $150,000 (they've had them in the DuPont Registry) before the G500 was formally released by DaimlerChrysler's Mercedes Benz. The original G-car has been around for some time now.

Interesting fact: unlike the MotoRex Skyline GT-Rs, the specialty imported Gelaendewagon never needed additional reinforcements for U.S. safety requirements because it exceeded safety requirements up to several years from now. It's THAT sturdy.

it can also scale 60 degree angles and is able to be driven through 3 foot deep water.

Would you take a 100000$ car with wood and leather etc. through 3 foot deep water...? Myself if i were for offroading i'd buy a land rover or a god damn jeep wrangler... but luckily i don't need to go off road and i'm not interested in it
