They are ugly boxes, but are amazingly built....old school bank vault Benz quality.

G wagons also happen to be awesome offroad, they have 3 locking differentials

That aside, for $72k I would just get a RR and for the $90k that the G55 goes for I would get a Cayenne Turbo.

I like how the doors sound when they close. Also, have you noticed the exhaust comes out in front of the rear wheels...

that drivetrain is handbuilt....you can get over some pretty rough terrain with it.

A guy who owns a pizza place right by my work just bought one in black. Your right about the box style. Its definitely unique but i still don't like it.

Supposedly it can drive through deeper water than anything other than an H1...plus its over 5,000 pounds and 0-60 is 7.5 seconds...plus the locking differentials and a unique look.

I love these things. There are 2 people in my buddies apt. complex who drive them...one is a 20 year old girl...

Ahnuld rocks the g wagen too.
