Those things are absolutely sick! But I think the 3rd row is such a huge thing that maybe is a little under appreciated on this forum. Especially if you have a big family or like to take buddies on ski trips. The Magna Steyr build quality is unreal, and I understand that they helped develop the grenadier (they still produce Gelandewagens to this day).
 
Idk I’ll keep throwing $ at my 200 and add a suburban in a few years as my family keeps growing.

I’ll keep the 200 and 100.

“But it DoEsNt have CarPLAy” - CarPlay is nice but I’m not basing what car I drive on it…

I have been camping in some backwoods places where I would not want to be driving such an obvious symbol of wealth as the G-wagon.

G waggen is a symbol of wealth today..

It was an utilitarian product at a certain time (most of its life)

Janet Jackson ruined it for all.

Good thing the URUS has replaced the G . Also the media whores will only drive the E G waggen that is here.

The Petrol ones will be for the offroaders and poor folks like us.. soon enough


I just gotta keep window regulators in my back pocket if I ever get a G ownership. Just like I carry head gaskets in my rear pocket for my 200 ownership
 
There are 3 200’s on Ohio State campus I see all the time. I often wonder if that’s the hand me down, what’s mom and dad driving. Hopefully newer 200’s.

In my area, the 200s are pretty much all located at the houses along the Scioto.

You’ll see the occasional in the wild. But clean 100s and diesels 80s are popping up everywhere. There is a black 200 with a body kit??? I saw a few days ago but couldn’t catch up to it to get a pic. Never seen such a thing.

I, admittedly, am chasing something with Daimler logo at the moment as well. But, it also has portal axles sooo…..who wouldn’t.

Homie can’t be saying an Audi overtook the G wagen! Certainly not in so cal!

I tried to put the wife in ‘22-‘23 GX to replace her C400, needs something more reliable, to move her older parents around, etc, and all she wants is a g wagen. All women want the g wagen. Boxy screams security and safety to them. And they are still commanding premiums even wholesale!

I hate offroading. I am a sports guy and bike guy at heart. Going fast is in my blood

My wife likes offroading. She constantly nags me about getting lifts and tires (done), wants bumprs and snorkels ( never, as I cant make my LCs any slower than they are by putting weight)

I want a G. All women around me want a G.

My wife hates the G.

SIGH.

Can we trade wives?
 
I’m seeing several 250’s out by us, all driven by young women.

There are a few 200’s I see often and several are older women, a couple of them blue hairs. Eventually they will be the much fantasized “little old lady” garage find with low miles and shopping cart dings. Fingers crossed I can score one of those.
I saw one of these mythical creatures in the garage of my office building. Pristine 2021 LX 570 black on tan with a beautiful shine to it. Looked like it just drove off the dealer lot brand new. I wrote a note and pinned it on the window saying I'd be happy to buy it from the owner. Got an email back from the owner that he had recently acquired it from an older relative who just left in their garage for years. The beast only had about 5,000 miles on it.

Moral of the story: Get a rich older relative who doesn't put miles on their timeless treasures.

i was hoping covid would have killed a few of my older relatives so I could inherit these 3 sub 10k mile vehicles:

1993 Supra Turbo
2012 Lexus LFA
2006 LX 470

Regardless of how much God or China tried, these way past their expiration date AARP members just dont seem to want to leave the Earth

I told my wife, I am done with being nice to older relatives, and I need some Novichok to make my automotive dreams a reality

It's deeply unfortunate to have such longevity in your family.
