Someone in my second apartment building in Livermore Ca had one of these his parking spot which was next to mine...I was really envious. At the time I had a '65 Lemans....

You're old if you remember the Satch Carlson stories of racing this in Alaska.

2019 Wranglers have an excellent color selection.

Nice little Ford V4 engine.

How come no one is talking about the new Blazer, or did I miss It?

Compared to this...





The Marcos Mantis.

I can see why they called it the Mantis, at least.

The design language works much better on an SUV than the Camaro.

A Mantis is supposed to be something intimidating. 





I dislike SUVs, but the more I shoot these things the more I want one. This was another G63 AMG with a gorgeous red leather interior. The second shot is an edited shot which will go on the business' homepage.

I have trouble seeing G-wagens as anything but overpriced busses for pretentious eurotrash wannabes.

yup

[Eye of the Tiger]

I have trouble seeing G-wagens Mercedes-Benz as anything but overpriced busses for pretentious eurotrash wannabes.

[Soup DeVille]

Oh, no. I like most Mercedes.

They are so worth the money, though. The new G-Class is so IMPROVED in all areas. The old G-Class was a "1970s truck" by comparison and drove like one. This company still has some old G500s around and they are awful to drive, terrible. The new ones? Love them! 


Oh, and they also have the last G500 4x4^2 with original factory protection wrapping!!!

I've been in a new one. They're nice. Not quite as nice as a well-equipped F-150, but nice.

The overall design of vehicles like the G-wagens and Hummer H2s always reminded me of industrial dumpsters, a huge garbage disposal unit on wheels.

I've never been inside a new F-150, so I can't comment on it. Last weekend the company had a G63 AMG Edition 1 with two TV screens in the rear  and a ton of other features. 220,000 Euros with all the options.

Wow. 2 TV screens.

Wow. 2 TV screens.

I know! There's nothing worth watching on German TV!!!

The latest one? There's a new one that came out a few weeks ago. They look similar, but it's finally modernized.

Whatever's being sold as the 2019 model in US dealerships.

The upcoming Jimmy is the one to get IMHO.........

So I assume that's...Tahoe-based?  I've always thought a Tahoe would make a good, modern, full-size wheeler.  Especially if it was offered with a locker and such.

Any news on the Jimmy?  Used to be a Blazer twin if I remember correctly.

Hopefully, the Jimmy will be a real SUV rather than CUV.  A little competition for the upcoming Bronco.

The bronco is gonna flop

It's tough to out-Wrangler the Wrangler.  I imagine it will be kind of like the FJ Cruiser. Not big sales, but a decent following for a few years.

You keep saying that.
