New Mercedes G(L)-class
Mercedes-Benz is to unveil a new highlight in the luxury Sport Utility Vehicle market segment: the GL-Class. The seven-seater premium off-roader offers excellent handling both on and off-road and pampers occupants with its extremely spacious accommodation and the comfort of a luxury saloon. The GL-Class sets another milestone with PRE-SAFEŽ, the comprehensive safety concept, a first in this market segment.
With its poised, assured presence, the GL-Class leaves you in no doubt about its aspirations to conquer this competitive market segment. The distinctive design idiom exudes power and exclusivity. Calm body surfaces, powerful, wedge-shaped features and striking details give the impression the luxury off-roader is surging forward even when stationary. The spacious body (length 5088 mm, width 1920 mm, height 1840 mm) is beautifully proportioned.

I can't understand the point of this car. It looks just a longer M class.
The previous G class was a truly off-roader ( and maybe the best one ) but it seems it was the last Mercedes of that kind :x
It's the future, and we have to live with that :roll:

This is what happens when a car company uses the American market as the basis of their model line-up... (no offense chaps... it's just the truth)

The current G55 is THE COOLEST 4x4. Why do bother do a new one.. ! :roll:
I drove it for 2 weeks, and it was mouth drooling, The sound and performance was exceptional, + the way it looks,!
Come on, that is how 4x4 look like, if you give a kid to draw for you a 4x4, he will draw G-Class..

i think you can stick "the star" on every car like for example the twingo, and ppl will buy the damn thing 
but it looks ok, but my choice would be the G 55 AMG, or now when, i hope, the AMG will put his new V8 in G, the 6.3 V8
