Delivery Miles?

Does every new G get an extended test drive, for about 17 miles or so? JOr does every 10th one or so get a longer test drive. Just curious as I just got back from test driving a new 2020 G550 that basically just came off the delivery truck.

Doesnt every G do Schöckl ? I would assume that would add some mileage for sure.

Btw, so what did the wife say?

Well she loved the extended test drive - I wanted her to be sure she actually wanted a G, which she does, in Desert Silver. The Platinum Magno was dirty since it had not gone through PDI or detailing (fresh off the truck last night) but it looked kinda drab to me as well. And the interior on the Desert Silver one is nicer so we have about 2 more months of waiting.

The waiting continues then Bob... I’m glad she enjoyed the G :-)
