I saw a Mercedes G Wagon today.
Discussion
Obviously doing 95 in the outside lane of the motorway flashing at everyone. And as it came past I couldn't help but notice, it is a truly awful looking car. It's like someone has taken a Land Rover defender to the gym, taken the hinges off the doors and then given it to someone from Bradford with a chrome factory to bling up.
How do they sell any? If you want a Mercedes 4x4, surely you'd have the ML? Or even the GLA? As they're more car like and generally nicer. This G Wagon had some horrific chrome wheels on it as well (to match the 10 million candle drl's) so no chance it ever goes off road. And if you wanted something unnecessarily chav you'd have a hummer. Or a Range Rover sport. If you wanted a 'luxury' 4x4, you'd have a Range Rover, or an X5, or a cayenne.
This one was a G350 Bluetec as well which did make me chuckle a bit as he was obviously flashing people over as it'd taken him the previous 3 miles to get it to 95. I came to the conclusion that it's purely a status symbol thing.
Does anyone on here have one and can answer why they've actually managed to sell any?
Eta: previously the only one I've seen before this is when they were a bit more utilitarian. An older chap used to come shooting on the farm years ago and always turned u with a weird greeny coloured one that was plastered in mud. it was probably H Reg or so. 3 door. He loved it as a utility vehicle. Seems they've changed a bit.
