I have a CLK430 that I just put up for sale today because I'm interested in getting a G500 or G55 black on black. I'll be a soon to be owner of a G class

The G class (the tank, big box) will continued to be made by MBZ. The rumor is they will update the headlights and dramatically improve the interior (about time).
Hope this helps.

I would get the Brabus conversion, but I'd like to keep it as stock looking as possible.
