They get relatively cheap after a while and they have some issues, I suppose MB must put some little styling cues on the new ones too, so the ladies driving these around can show they have a "new" one. I was surprised how common they were in North Vancouver, kind of the anti Tesla.
Mercedes G Wagon: Well I guess I stand corrected.

The neighbors wife drives an AMG G 63. It has some pep. But it's slower than the wifes mall-crawler BMW. The G wagon would have the edge in deep snow or on 4wd trails, however.
For a '23 model, that's right in the ballpark.

Love the G wagon. Its up there with the Range Rover and Lx600
If only they sold a less tarted up model in the US..... Came close once, but decided that it was over the top for me and then I saw one on TV disgorging a load of Kardashians and I said 'never!'
Great vehicles though. Know folks who have an early Puch one.

This company does a complete tear down and rebuild. The photos tell the tale as they say.
@Trav would probably like as well.

Diesel for me, no gas jobs.
Saw this one on my way home from work a few months ago. Don't scold me too much for taking a pic while driving, traffic was light.
Many militaries go from Puch to Land Rover, FIAT, Hummer, Toyota, just to end up buying Puch G again.
Well darn. It did have a cel so we pulled the code and did some digging. It has a dead cylinder. Adding oil did not raise the compression up any so either a bad valve or a hole in a piston. Only has 83000 miles.

Wait a minute. The guy in that other thread said Merc was as reliable as the moon and only BMWs broke.
Ring gaps too tight?
Yep, and valve seats.
I don't see any resemblance to a Gladiator at all and I walked outside and glanced at my Gladiator.

Yeah, it's definitely more along the lines of the LR Discovery.
