:-O The brush guard and wheels are awful! What is MBZ thinking?
Although, the 2019 G550 brush guard is leaps and bounds better than the 2019 G63! That is downright absurd and pathetic!!!
I KNOW the 2019 G-Class will be much smoother and more comfortable than my 2018 G63, but every pic I see of the all new G, it makes me even happier I grabbed a new '18 model!!!

I first started looking at the G Class just a couple of months ago, so I don’t have any kind of historical opinion about what the G should be. I test drove an ‘18 and it drove okay. I thought the interior was a bit archaic, which I also was the reason I ruled out the GLS. I almost went with the X5M, but as I read more and more about the ‘19 G, I realized it would be a better fit for my preferences. Hopefully, there won’t be too many first model year issues.

Please see my first post on this thread when you first started it.
I don't think this will change.
And I still don't know what the price is, and I still don't work for MBUSA anymore.

The price did not go down...the $99k is just a holder number until Mercedes releases official pricing.

Not sure why US prices are delayed, the Canadian pricing is already posted on the Mercedes Benz financial calculator.

Applying the 4% and 6.3% Canadian price increases yield $128,500 and $151,800 for the US G550 and G63 respectively. Anyone believe that I’ll be within $500 of the actual prices?

I "believe" the MSRP is 124500 plus destination on the 19 G550 .. which would only be $900 more than a 2018 was... but I'm not 100% on this..just a source I have.. will post up when official

I personally think the profit margin of the 2019 G will far surpass the 2018 and older Gs. IMO.

the ordering process on the G's have been "challenging".. trims and leathers and paints have all been delayed at different times and getting the right car's people want to order has been tough.. I have two forum members waiting still for G63 allocations as well as two more dealership clients.. so I would hesitate taking more orders at my dealership unless I know more about allocation times and that those people have been satisfied

It might not be as much as we think, even though the 460-463 was in production for SO many decades! The materials used and build methods, while amazing, were not very modern and streamlined and so many parts were specific to the G-Class only. Also the "old" G really was built to last almost forever, and it shows in the parts and build quality. The 2019 G is basically just a 4x4 S or E-Class. Designed to last 4yrs/50k miles

I doubt that there’s any Mercedes model designed to only last 4yrs/ 50km. IMO, given the vast improvements in design and manufacturing over the past 40 years(albeit some of which made it into the old G), I suspect the new G will actually end up being more reliable than the old G.
digital instruments....but as with any super advanced, loaded with tech Mercedes...the new G will NEVER be more reliable or have the feeling of being carved out of a single piece of granite like the 2018 and older Gs. I am not putting down the 2019 G, and will probably get one down the road...but the end of the W463 is the end of the last true, great and real Mercedes!!

'19 G63 Ed 1,'18 M5, '16 G63,'12 458 , '11 E63, Brabus SL55-K8, '10 S63, '94 E500 "Wolf", '91 560SEC
Of course ALL Mercedes will "survive or last" longer than 4 years/50k miles, but since that is about the longest included warranty period that MBZ offers anywhere in the world, they do not have a financial gain to make their cars last seemingly forever, as they did especially in the 60s up until the mid 1990s (the W124 1986-1995 E-Class is a tank). The new G will be more technologically advanced, will lose it's archaic body gap panels, will have super comfy S-Class seats, Range Rover driving comfort, led headlamps, Knight Rider digital instruments....but as with any super advanced, loaded with tech Mercedes...the new G will NEVER be more reliable or have the feeling of being carved out of a single piece of granite like the 2018 and older Gs.

agreed.. don't know if some people are taking excess orders they can't fill.. I stopped at 6 G63's ... but again leather and wood and some other constraints have put orders in limbo a bit

The G Wagon demographic of today isn't buying the vehicle for a long term hold. The values as strong as they are, makes sense to trade up every couple of years. Last major update the G got was in 01-02 and Mercedes milked that until now. They have some R&D costs, etc. to recoup on this new one, the components from the last G were arguably much cheaper. I think it is safe to say that all manufacturers, not just Mercedes, only care about the first buyer who is w/in that 4yr/50k mile ownership period. Different times we are in.
One of the biggest contributing factor to the resale, IMO, is the double lifespan. Took them until 2012 from 2000s to rehaul the interior. Let's hope they can continue it in the new model.

I know these vehicles are complex, which means more things can fail, but reliability has been climbing steadily since the 1980s. Unfortunately, when something goes wrong it takes a computer to diagnose the problem. I’m driving a 7 Series loaner this week since my M6 intermittently refuses to start. It isn’t throwing a code, so the mechanics are stumped.

Also, the margins on the old G were outrageous.
