G class design
Does anyone have a clue if the new G would still have the class, power, uniqueness, and ruggedness of the old one, or will it be a pumped up ML?
is the '05 a good deal to purchase at this time?
thanks,

S320 CDI and SL320
Mercedes will stop the production of the current G-class in a few months (probably may 2005, together with the last S-class). Reason: the G doesn't have a Euro4-engine and European law prohibits production of car-models without a Euro4-engine.
Land Rover will stop production of the Defender for the same reason.
A new G will not be produced in short-term. However, Mercedes will produce a long M-class and will profile that as the new G.
It's even not sure yet if a new G will ever come

Consumer versions are apparently also under consideration (but not likely).
Word on the street is that the military G's will continue to be produced at the plant in Thessaloniki, Greece, where there are already being produced.
