I've been driving a G since 1984 - currently a 2000 G500, which is probably my last, unless MBUSA decides to import a diesel.

They are not for everyone...
Suggest if you still have to ask after a drive then it's not for you.
I'm on my second G...first was a 2003 G55, now a 2005 G55 which to me suits my needs.
Probably will keep the 05 until I no longer can drive...

Taking a look at the cars you're driving... the taste for an E-class is so different from the taste for a G, IMO. Just for explanation of my point, I, for example, hate the E. I like the CLS very much, but never to the extent of buying one. Just as RBYCC said, they're not for everyone. In my case, it was as if I was living on another planet (well, busy working ) never taking notice of what this vehicle is. Yes, what it is. In make, style or intended function (hardcore), it is simply not comparable to any other vehicle on the road except maybe the Defender. Throughout the world of design, when form followed function (a term coined by Le Corbusier), the design was a success.
