Looks nice, but i've never been fond of tall narrow boxy suv's, always hated battling the crosswinds with them as they never really feel stable to me at speed esp in strong winds. Could just be the ones that I drove but i doubt it.

I dont know why the G is still in production. Its way over priced and it has styling from the late 90s to early 2000s. Not sure why the stock G costs more than an S class...who would buy this over an S class!

Here's the original 1979 G class.
If you ask me, there are enough cosmetic changes on the 2009 model that differentiate it from the 1979 model as well as the 2000 variant. In a way, the design and character of the G class are what make it unique and you can bet that this is a selling point of the car.
