Doug DeMuro's review of the new G

Doug DeMuro just posted his review of the new G. While his sense of humor may not be for everyone (I kind of like it personally), he loved the G-class. He says it is a better car than the Range Rover. The review is around 27 minutes long but worth it. Enjoy

Thanks for posting. I had never seen this guy before but he's pretty funny. I LOLd at the early warning parking feature part.

G 270 cdi
I don't know how other people use their Gs but the off-road ability is one of the most important aspects for me. Sure, I don't use it every day, but when I have to go to a farm or the beach, I always take the G. I'm curious, amongst those of us here, does anyone drive theirs off road on a regular basis?

Doug made a crack or two about how people only drive them around Beverly Hills (school, grocery, shopping, etc.)

I get the joke. Obviously there are a lot of folks who never drive on dirt roads, etc. But I'm wondering about people who would be on a board like this.

I can’t claim to be a frequent off-roader, but my G will see rocks, dirt, mud, snow, and sand.
