Let's talk about the Mercedes G Wagon

[Mike K]

Why do they all sound like shit? Discuss.

Exhibit 1:

These are all over out here and their sound is as distinguishable as the old Nissan VQ engines because they sound like shit. They sound like old pickup trucks with stock cams and glass packs. They sound like they have an engine miss. They sound like garbage at idle and part throttle. Did I mention they sound like shit?

Feel free to disagree with me but you're wrong.

Can we talk about the dudes voice instead?

 

[Mike K]

No.

 

[Mike K]

You know what we can talk about... What's the appeal with these turd sandwiches? They are a shit ton of money, handle like trash, sound like a fart and get something like 1.2 miles to the gallon. And they are EVERYWHERE out here.

 

[DanJ]

Doesn't sound like what it costs that's for sure. They're probably just popular because it's a symbol for excess.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

Because LA


I might see one once every few weeks unless I'm in River North

 

[Spivitz]

Yup, turd mobile. Looks like a big waste of money imo

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

I think they're cool and if I had that kind of money to throw at a car, I wouldn't call it a waste.

 

[SleeperLS]

I feel like all of the AMG benz vehicles sound like that. A distinct note of weird

 

[LoveSpank]

I just can't get on board with the G. Not worth the money imo especially since its just a glorified box. Much rather take the money and turn an H1 into bonified badass

 

[Spivitz]

I'd be ok spending $122,000+ on another SUV. The G is simply not my style.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

A 500+hp SUV that seats 7 and runs 13's seems kinda cool to me

 

[Chester Copperpot]

I've always liked the G wagons. I would just never pay what they command. Sounds like my dad's stock 5.3 in his Silverado.

You know what we can talk about that actually sounds like shit? The EcoBoost and 3800s.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

plus the police/military ones all look awesome.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

You know what really sounds like shit? Teslas.

 

[Pewter-Camaro]

I like the military ones quite a bit. They have an open top version that I always liked.

 

[DEEZUZ]

LOVE G wagons....

 

[Dasfinc]

[MENTION=4700]Miss Esa[/MENTION] want's one something fierce; and I'd love to buy one as well.

Unfortunately even a early 00's model is still in the $30,000 range, they hold value well and are vastly more reliable than their BMW or Land Rover status symbol counterparts that depreciate like a lead balloon.

We don't need to talk about that. Its fact.

 

[Mike K]

I think they're cool and if I had that kind of money to throw at a car, I wouldn't call it a waste.

But if you had that kind of money to throw at a car wouldn't there be a ton of much better vehicles for the money? Specifically: Anything that's not a G wagon.

Maybe. I guess I only notice it on the G Wagons because they put a decently loud exhaust on them from the factory.

This.

Well if this was 2005 and that was the ONLY metric we were looking at then yeah, maybe I guess.

Yes and double yes.

You know what really sounds like shit? Teslas.

Troll level: Eleventy billion.

 

[Yaj Yak]

hey i know what shut up

 

[95SC]

Drives soundless Tesla and complains how shitty AMG V8 engines sounds . LOL

 

[guspech750]

Yep. Ugly looking and sounding shit box.

 

[Spivitz]

Troll level in the billions.... Hahaha

 

[Spivitz]

It's a steal at only $122,400.........
