The Star did a rather devastating review of the new G-Wagens compared to the
earlier 80's versions. I scanned the review, but from what I saw, it makes
sense...more fluff, less substance = identity crisis for the G-Wagen.
Galendewagen means 'cross country vehicle' not 'suburban conspicuous
Mercedes To Continue Producing G-Class
Posted on November 11, 2005 at 8:52 AM CST
Despite earlier rumors that Mercedes may be replacing the legendary G-Wagon
with the upcoming GL-Class, DaimlerChrysler has officially announced today
that they will continue producing the G-Class in coming years.
Lots of cheap early-'80s G-wagens on ebay.de. If =25 years old, they
no longer need to pass EPA and NHTSA to be imported. Flights to
Europe are cheap---go over there, find a good one, ship it back---it'd
still be cheaper, all told, than a used one that's already here, let
alone a new one.
