Mercedes-Benz G Class News

Unlike the Land Rover Defender, which will gain a successor in the form of a production version of the recent DC100 concept vehicles, the equally-utilitarian Mercedes-Benz G Glass is soon to meet its demise. To celebrate its life, Mercedes unveiled the Final Edition and Edition Select models for...

Factory-built luxury security vehicles are, without doubt, members of one of the smallest segments anywhere. But with their rarity and exclusivity comes a certain cool factor, a factor enhanced by their capabilities. Mercedes-Benz states outright that "The aim of the Guard models...is to protect...

File this one in the unsubstantiated rumor bin for now, but reports out Europe indicate Mercedes-Benz is working on a twin-turbo V-12 version of the G-Class for a special 200-unit limited run as the sun sets on the platform. If it is built--and that's doubtful--it would potentially mean a...

Germany's own military-bred super SUV is soon to meet its end, and to celebrate the G-Class's run, Mercedes-Benz has unveiled a pair of special edition models: the Edition Select and the aptly named BA3 Final Edition. The Final Edition is a short-wheel base model, while the Edition Select is long...

Built for cross-country duty in a terrifically, angularly Tuetonic way, the G-Class, and its sportiest variant, the G55 AMG, is no exactly the first vehicle you'd think of when you think "drift." And this wet roundabout isn't exactly the forum for real drifting, but the quantity of opposite lock...

Every time we see Britney Spears, our interior monologue starts singing nursery rhymes. Example: Little Brit-Brit in that car, How we wonder what you are! Do you come from Crazytown? Or are you playing us for clowns? Either way, you're making bank, You bleached-out, tuneless, redneck skank. Maybe...

Ashley Tisdale may be totally fine flaunting her celebutante Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen, leaving it out on the street for hours at a time, but put her in a BMW, and missy loses the fancypants right quick. See the pic at the link below? That's her in a BMW 3-Series, being driven around by current beau...

Does everybody have trouble telling Ashley Tisdale and Aubrey O'Day apart, or is it just us? They both young, they're both blond (vaguely), and they both sing (vaguely). Each has worked as a member of a teen-centric ensemble, but neither has gained fame on the solo front. Also, they both live in...

What up, y'all! It's me, your ol' Brit-Brit! I know how y'all like to see me drive around in my Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen and all, and I know how much you like to call it my P-Wagen, 'cause that joke just never gets old, now does it?. But as per my recent agreement with Lil' Brit -- that's what I call...

Before people start firing off nasty emails and TPing our ligustrum (it's just a poor, defenseless shrub fer chrissakes), let's get one thing clear: we like Ewan McGregor. Seriously: Trainspotting? Brilliant. Velvet Goldmine? Defined a generation. The Phantom Menace? Well, we don't mention The...

Our reaction to this sad/hilarious photo, with apologies to Paul Laurence Dunbar, Maya Angelou, and Emily Dickinson: I wonder why the caged bird sings for pop tart Britney Spears, E'en though his life may soon by fraught with scandals and with jeers.... Is it because he knows he'll never want for...

Welcome back, Audrina Patridge. It feels like just yesterday we saw you stepping into a sporty white Mercedes after an afternoon of shopping on Melrose. And now, you're....well, you're stepping out of a sporty white Mercedes for an afternoon of shopping, possibly on Melrose. You certainly get...

Only the G-Wagen can contain her.

Adding value to a successful design that's been essentially unchanged for 30 years might seem like an unecessary fix, but Mercedes has seen fit to add a few interior updates to its G-Class for its 30th year on the road. The updates include a new set of 'ergonomically optimized' front seats which...

Thirty years is a long time in the automotive industry, but the more things change, the more they stay the same - in 1979, the second oil crisis was in full swing, Detroit was smack in the midst of its malaise-era madness and the Mercedes Benz G-Class was born. Despite its age, there are plans to...

Thirty years is a long time in the automotive industry, but the more things change, the more they stay the same - in 1979, the second oil crisis was in full swing, Detroit was smack in the midst of its malaise-era madness and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class was born. Now that three decades have elapsed...

Updated: Less than a week after the updated G-Class range was first revealed, Mercedes-Benz has taken the covers off its new 2009 G55 AMG performance SUV. Like the regular G-Class fleet, the new model sports a 5.5L V8 engine but thanks to the addition of a supercharger and a new ECU power is bumped...

A new Pope needs a new Popemobile and what better to cart around his Holiness than an open top Mercedes G Wagon. Pope Benedict XVI will present himself to 40,000 or so pilgrims in St. Peter’s Square in an open-top Mercedes G-Class during his public audiences on Wednesdays. The new Popemobile...

Mercedes-Benz has refined its G-Class for 2007, a vehicle that hasn’t changed much since the original was released back in 1979. For the latest edition, the interior has been updated with a new instrument cluster and steering wheel and a modified centre console with redesigned switches plus a...
