The Best
A G-Class ( Gelaendewagen) is simply the best SUV there is. Forget the Hummer, Range\Land Rover, Land Cruiser etc. This vehicle will get you out of anything. Ask the US military why they are switching from the Hummer to the G-class...
15 year review
Drives like a very heavy and strongly build military vehicle. The weight is easily noticed. Appearance of the car has not aged. Excellent paint, hinges with no rust, under carriage with no structural rust. Garage kept but mainly used during inclement winter weather on the salt soaked roads of the Notheast. Gobbles gas. Acceleration is impressive for a car with this weight. It has had glitchy electrical problem that the dealership has not been able to identify. Not a comfortable drive. Tight suspension as expected for an off road design.

G-Wagon
The G-Wagon is a superb all around vehicle. It is comfortable on the highway yet tough and powerful off road.It is an absolute joy to drive. The biggest drawback is fighting my wife over who gets to drive it (she has an Escalade).
THIS IS A TRUCK
You can't criticize a good off road vehicle for being a good off road vehicle. If you bought it just for the looks or for the trendiness you will probably will get tired of it. But if you appreciate the confidence of being able to face whatever the weather report throws at you (even if you never ever go off road), you will not get rid of this warranty on life. Plenty of power. Just a bit rough on the potholes (you are not supposed to drive 80 mph off road)...
Rolls Royce of 4x4s
It is the best truck on the road. It simply looks like nothing else, and drives like caviar on butter. I had to limo-tint my windows as this car definitely gets a lot of attention. Every time I drive someone in the G500 they WOW all the time. When I go to clubs or restaurants, valet parking would always put it up front for grabbing attention. This is a top of the line truck.
