Ugh. Just put the G63 motor in the 4x4^2 platform and let the old G go out with some dignity.

I couldn't imagine owning such a car/truck but all these trucks make sense for a very small group of people with specific interests or needs.

This one is actually more practical. Maybach S-class rear seating space and luxury in the rear with a convertible option, coupled with an extremely capable 4x4. Perfect fit for several Arab nations I'd say

Is that an antenna on the hood on the 11th photo? Looks like the kind that used to be on the trunk of the old slk
