Didnt need a teaser video.... wasnt that cool. They should save these for when they reveal a new feature or something newsworthy. Respectful ability content nonetheless. https://www.facebook.com/MercedesBenz/videos/619939111819766/

Agreed the build up here was unnecessary. Still interesting to see the G w/ no sunroof. Is that a one off?

Or at least a roof like the older one.

Agree that the teaser was unnecessary - especially for a TV commercial - but the stunt was still cool. Apparently a lot of folks claiming that it was rigged or impossible so Mercedes is going to release the behind the scenes footage...

https://www.motor1.com/news/307646/m...s-promo-video/

"If you're dubious of this stunt by the German marque, Mercedes has announced that it will publish the behind the scenes footage of the stunt on its Youtube channel on March 8, 2019. It will also publish four Instagram stories that showcase the stunts four-stage process, so make sure that you follow the brand's social media channels."
