Specs of the new G-Class?
Does anyone have any insights to the specs of the new G-Class? I am mostly interested in the dimensions and seating capacity, i.e. overall length, wheelbase, width, cargo room etc.
Had my eye on an R-Class but am thinking it is too small for my needs...

If it isn't extended, it will not be replaced with anything you have seen spy shots of. There are a lot of spy shots the past 2-3 years of a Mercedes SUV larger than the ML, it doesn't mean they will be given the G name.

New G?
I remember seeing spy shots about a year ago. I thought the R was coming out this year with the G to follow. Was bigger than the R and a lot more streamlined than the current G class.
Hopefully this will occur as the R isn't big enough for a family with young kids and the soccer mom phenom of hauling other people's kids around.

The G has been selling very well in the USA, if the civilian models continue to 2010 it will be sold here. The decision to continue has not been made past 2006, keep your fingers crossed. If it does stop, I've been assured none of the spy shots you have seen will be called the G. They would rather retire the name then stick some minivan looking unibody ML on steroids with the G name and heritage. The spy shots you have seen are a new model line.
It is already a limited-production car. They make 23 Gs a day, about 1/2 civilian.
