Shoot, not an improvement IMO. They're killing the classic lines - a mistake they should have learned from their competition (ahem, bimmer). Looks much more road friendly, and more M-ish - not the right impression the top of the line, age-old, battle tested merc SUV offroader wants to give.

Agreed, the G was a classic, you cant ruin all its heritage and make it into a beefier plastic M class. Hopefully it still is a great 4x4, doubt it though.

current G class is a classic, most likely its replacement is going to fail at achieving such a status; yes, it does look like a larger M class clone

OMG... that IS awful!

What the fuck? They not only want to kill that beautiful, timeless, shape but they also want to build it in Hickville, USA? So it's gonna look like a Jeep Cherokee and it's gonna have shitty build quality, similar to that of the American-built M-Klasse. :x Seeing that the G-Wagen is really the only 4X4/SUV I like, this makes me angry. Also, I'm pretty sure the Russian Mafia will not be pleased with the girly look of the new G-Wagen.

Yuck!!!!! Mercedes used to be elegant looking and had excellent build quality, that all went to hell when they start making the M-Class.

Weak. . . it looks like another "civilized" off-roader now. Should've kept it rugged like the current one, aka Hummer H1 style.

The G class is a classic from 25 years... :cry:

The G-class along with the SL are the only MB I currently respect and love.. But It looks like in the near future that the SL will be the only MB I respect.... The G-Class is something very very very prestigious IMO.. The people who buy the G glass don't buy it because it got seating for 7 they buy it because it looks good and reminds them of the old days.... Land Rover..

That's that a G-Class to me.. A landrover with an MB badge and a lot more luxuary not that their is something wrong with that.. If I had the money I would get my self a G55..but not this new one..

Are you sure this is the new G-Wagon? Looks a lot like the M class and I'm too lazy to actually compare. LOL If it does happen to be the G then I have to say I'm disappointed with the new design. I always thought of the G as a more aggressive SUV and set apart from the ML...I guess wrong now.

neilo63 · 03-20-2005, 05:12 AM

Not my style, the end of an era. Oh well it had to happen, pity it looks all soft and bland just like all the recent MB's. :cry:

ESR_balla · 03-30-2005, 06:14 AM

Thank you Mercedes for ruining the G Class.

frozzu · 03-30-2005, 06:41 AM

I believe it's the M-class, G-wagon has never looked that way. So why make the change now.

komotar · 03-30-2005, 06:51 AM

OMG, if this IS the new G wagon, I think that Mercedes have just killed
their best looking car. That shape was timeless. Tis car will be forgotten before it will even be made....

I hope this is something else....

imprezaWRC · 03-30-2005, 11:11 AM

like the others said ; it looks like new M-class :roll:
