This thing is a legend. Jeepfags can't even dream of a 4x4 like the G wagon.

Ouch. Appears you're actually third.

>Why does mercedes do this?

Because the G wagon is now a soccer mom car. But there is one problem: It's shit to drive because it was supposed to be a work horse war-wagon by design.

So they are going to make it have decent, safer, steering and not feel so cramped on the inside because soccer moms have bigger asses than ever.

> Arent they eating into gle, gls sales by doing this?
I think that's a slightly different customer, but with the shear number of models that they have there is always some market overlap. Mercedes tries to be everything to everyone. The G wagons are expensive, so I'm sure they hope they do get that extra profitability.

I have never seen a woman drivig a G

All I see around here. No one drives them seriously, just doctors wives, psychologists, etc. Mainly women.

>implying modern G model buyers give a fuck about the suspension
people that want the pure Offroader get an original G, everyone else gets the modern mafia box.

I dont know shit about 4x4's, inform me why IFS is a bad thing? Worse traction while offroading?

Military vehicle - military contractor prices. Add the cost of the interior and an amg engine and it's starts to seem pretty reasonably priced.

I hope their W461 series pur and professional wagens will still be steel and with solid axels.

Also, reminder that W460 and W461's are the only true G-wagens.

memes are a dangerous drug

>>16659463
indeed

>>16659463

The vg150-250 is a much much sturdier transfer case than the part-time transfer cases the older mercs were equipped with.
Apart from that there are no major differences between a w461 and a w463 (late full time 461s are basically just 463s).
I fear that with the coming of the w464 the existence of the workhorse 463 series is under threat.

It's just been a luxury thing for a while. Sometimes a higher price is all that makes something a luxury item.
