Re: Big Boy BENZ Battle! (G,GL,R and ML)

G-wagon is the ultimate off-roader in the world..It was & still is my most favorite SUV in the world..but after the launch of the GL & seeing its performance I started loving it and that love grown very fast..now GL is almost near to the G-wagon in my mind..but G won my vote..If there were more choice, then my next vote after GL will go to Range Rover HSE

My choice:

1. G - class: the best offroader in the world with tank like build
2. GL- class: A mixture of S-class luxury & G-class offroad capabilities
3. R - class: Its not really a SUV, but a cross-over, but a perfect vehicle for family
4. ML- class: Its a small brother of GL, but not a fullfledge off-roader.

Re: Big Boy BENZ Battle! (G,GL,R and ML)

Easy first choice would be a ML63 AMG. After that I think I'd have a G55 AMG with some type of trick designo package. Then lastly a nice GL450 Premier Edition (U.S. model only) and lastly a R550 when they update it with the new engine.

Re: Big Boy BENZ Battle! (G,GL,R and ML)

1. The ML, looks awesome in AMG trim and looks classy in normal trim. It's one of my favourite SUVs, not a huge fan of the interior though.

2. G class, looks amazing in AMG trim and in black, a really gangster's car, and had lots of character. Isn't as good to drive as the ML, and is very expensive in the UK.

3. The GL, have only seen one in the UK, there's one near where I live, and it's a huge car, way too big for a roads.

4. The R class, seen a few but they look like a van, think MB made a mistake with this car!

Re: Big Boy BENZ Battle! (G,GL,R and ML)

Consider me a rebel, but the R is my favorite. I've been able to spend a lot of time in the ML, GL, G and R. If I owned one it would be the R or ML. The R has tons of room, and has the best highway ride of any car I've driven. Call me crazy but I like the looks. My father picked up an R this year through my employee discount. He loves it.

The G would be great if I were a missionary in Africa or Bolivia.

The GL is a great looking, great drving SUV. however it has exactly the same space in the front and middle seating positions as the ML.

Re: Big Boy BENZ Battle! (G,GL,R and ML)

1. G. I like it's old-school styling and timelessness.
2. GL. I feel it's more of a proper Merc than its baby brother.
3. R. I don't really mind the looks or the concept. In fact, I secretly desire to own an R63 AMG.

4. ML. This model leaves me cold.

Re: Big Boy BENZ Battle! (G,GL,R and ML)

I chose the ML, although none of these Benzes really appeal to me. I agree with Luw, the RR Sport takes the cake.
