G63

[dry run]

Hi,

One of my clients had me drooling as he drove up in his newly collected Mercedes offering.

He says its the best car he's ever driven and I tend to believe him as he currently also ownes a RR Wraith and a Ferrari 458 amongst others It certainly sounds Great!

 

[Naraic]

So, a better car than the Ferrari...I'll bet it doesn't go round corners like one. I bet it doesn't accelerate like one. I bet it doesn't have the top speed of one. It does carry more people and stuff, therefore...better?

It's probably good to drive got a vehicle like this, but I would rather drive the 458.

That’s a long way south for one of those, I see “hundreds” in Bradford

not a fan even with that engine fitted , too prem league footballer for my taste ( bought with no imagination )

Drove one at a Sandown MB day last year. Felt unstoppable, nearest thing you could get a Chieftain tank on public roads! Felt that you could easily get carried away though and let speed exceed its capacity to go round corners!

It's a high powered box, a tool box. Suitable for complete tools.

We have a had a series of them through our doors lately. Personally, I prefer the 350 diesel offering. The 63 just has so much torque steer I can't imagine it would be any good off road. That said, they are still a fine wagon.

The all new one should be better though????

350CDi with the 63 bodykit would be perfect IMO

The G63 I had here was a 2016 car with 15k miles on it, I can't think they would be that different, but I could be wrong.

New one is a totally new car from the ground up

The one in this thread is the new model.

A front end on image would be the easiest way to determine it. The headlights and grill are the easiest descriptors on the new version.

This has the glass sunroof, the previous version had a steel sunroof. This has the dual tablet screens in the dashboard. The fan type air vents in the dash. The rain gutter is now a multi part moulding and roof rack system fixings are in the roof.

The passenger grab handle, door handles so you get the G click, and front wing indicators are the 3 parts retained from the earlier model.

It's wider, longer and taller too.

Shares the same switchgear as the S Klasse.

By all accounts its a totally different vehicle on road.

There will be an all electric one for Arnie and his California dudes.

On my wishlist

looks just like the old one

That was probably their plan. They are an 'icon' - or something...
