White G55

Has anyone ever seen a white G55 before?? I was thinking it would look nice in white with the chrome accents.

Here are some pics...one is a G63 (V12) and one is a G65 (V12 bi-turbo) with a BRABUS kit. Last picture is what a 2007 G55 looks like which the new grey-painted wheels. White is the most popular color for the G-Class in Dubai, and then black. Almost 70% that are sold here are one of those two colors.

Further, you mentioned in your earlier post that the second most popular color for the G in the middle east is black. If the choice of color is based on desert heat, black will be the last possible color choice.

Drifting off subject, I'm also Indian and have never "lived" there but travel there almost monthly for work. I think you have to give it a chance. For someone who is young (I just turned 30), Bombay can be a lot of fun if you have the right friends to socialize with. The night life in Bombay is pretty good. It's becoming a very modern city with a lot of the creature comforts we are used to. Other places in India like Delhi, Goa, Bangalore, etc. are also quite happening now.

Still, I prefer living in Dubai.

........there is a lot of misinformation in potrayal of developing countries. I have also lived in India. In Pakistan, I lived in Islamabad which is in fact one of the most beautiful cities in the world. pretty quiet relatively free from the turmoil you see portrayed on TV. Karachi and Lahore are more crowded. The stuff you see on western TV is largely limited to the lawless northern provinces where foreigners don't go to.

..........India is amazingly beautiful. So much to see, so much to eat. Delhi is quiet and Mumbai is more crowded. I think you are missing out on a lot.

Ever since i was younger everytime i go to India i would get sick. I cant eat the food or drink the water. I dont know maybe i have a sensitive stomache. Even the bottled water tastes nasty. If you dont mind me asking, what did you do when you lived in India and Pakistan??

Yea i know what you mean. I was there in September for business as well. I was also in Mumbai and I stayed at the JW Marriott and i heard they had a sick club downstairs but every time i would come back to the hotel i would be wayy too tired to go. I would be up at 5am and come back at 11pm so that wasnt gonna happen, lol. I will def go next time though.

Outside of the US, you can call AMG and pay them a lot of money and they'll build you almost anything you want. The G65 V12 bi-turbo is one such vehicle. There are a few in Dubai. Before the G65, AMG also made a handful of G63 AMGs with the previous no-turbo V12.

There is also the G55 Cabriolet (non-Kompressor), G55 XXL (stretched with recliner seats like the Maybach), and a few other variants.

white g question from Guido

Guido, Nice color for your G. My prior g55 was silver. Alot easier to keep clean than black. As for the white in the desert I live in AZ, where it is up to 118 in the summer and always sunny. I think with todays technology in AC etc, color really doesnt matter as far as climate is concerned. Just my opinion for what it is worth.
