And here's the link: http://www.auto-motor-sport.de/news/auto_u...voran.93379.htm (http://www.auto-motor-sport.de/news/auto_und_produkte/neuer_mercedes_offroader_es_g_voran.93379.htm)
Apparently it's going to be available in V6 or V8 and will have the M-Class's Off-Road package as standard.  It'll also have a third-row seat.

OK so how does this slot in to the M and R class SUVs?  There has GOT to be some cannibalization of M Class sales here...

It looks great, but it's too soft to even remotely be considered  a G class.

What's the point here?  It looks like an M class.  Is it bigger? :blink:

They should have renamed it the Q-class or something, and let the G-class legend finish its life.

Well, this should piss everyone off who liked the G legacy and leave those of us that didn't like the G to begin with as apathetic to it's existence as ever. I really don't see how this is a smart move.

So they're replacing the G wagon that all the "cool" hipster hip-hop thugs have with 22 inch rimz on 'em?
