Many armies around the world have some Gwagons. I posted a link a
few months ago showing Gwagons in use by the USA. I think it was
USMC, but I think the text said the army has some too.
They are made in Austria, I believe by Steyr-Puch
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_G-Class Scroll down, and
it lists countries using the Gwagon, including the USMC (IFAV) If
they would make a version for reconaissance/escort duty it could be
called the I-FAVRE (for USM fans)
Aren't those standard ish to the German army and Austria and others
around there? They are built in Austria, right?

When I was someplace hot and sandy, I saw several of the G-wagons in armored
trim. One day I was able to talk to the driver of one, and asked
how she got so
lucky to be driving such a beast, but she didn't have a clue. Like most US
drivers, I think she was more impressed by the hood ornament than
anything else.

No a G is a G -- a Gelandewagen (sp?) which is the Land
Rover-looking thing, I
think they were military vehicles to begin with then got offered to
the civilian
market, mostly used by Mipsie to take little Dakota and Logan to
soccer matches,
and to go to mani/pedi appointments and lunch with the girls.

By G wagons do you mean SUVs such as the GL320tdi? Heard anything
good or bad
about these cars as far as repair expenses?
Thanks,

Most of the 4WD vehicles I see off road, other than farm pickups
in a field,
are rolled over in a ditch, or in the ditch after a little snow or ice.
If I can't get down the road in my MB or van with Blizzacks, it
is time to be
home or holed up. The exception is 3/4 or one tons with snow plows.
Somehow, I don't think ANY of the G wagons around here have done anything
like that - probably haven't been off-road.
