Brief on-line review of new G63 ......

www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evocarreviews/283264/mercedesbenz_g63_amg_review.html

Also, in the current issue of Mercedes Enthusiast there is an interesting quote from Ola Kallenius (Chairman of AMG):

" People ask me how long will you continue to build the G-Class? My answer is always long - very long. There is no reason to run it out".

Re: G63 review by EVO

Hello Mountain Goat 7,

I rather like; I am supposing here, the big oil coolers built into the bumpers, rather like some 'shades' to the vehicle.

The other feature is the two lines of chrome strip, running horizontally, a case of "less is more".

Wish, I had one.....

Regards,

Hi Rakesh - Not sure if I like the new front end styling - looks a bit clumsier than previous model? Probably is for cooling as you say.

I'd still probably have one if I had the money .......

Re: G63 review by EVO

The Americans are to blame, why would you want 500bhp in a top heavy heavyweight truck that can't corner...utterly pointless and more than a little irresponsible.

Re: G63 review by EVO

I have never seen Top Gear pass good comments when comes to the G-Wagen, what ever its faults are, I can live with them.  Never mind what the 'three stuggies' say....entirely, my opinion; so all you lawyers - sit.

Give them a Range Rover, they'll be drooling over it.

Cheers,

Re: G63 review by EVO

the W461 300cdi professional remains to be at the top of my wish list..
but i wouldn't mind having the new AMG as weekend fun car.

i used to think the pre-2002 interior is the 'best-fitting' for a W463. no-nonsense traditionalist and closer to the 'military-roots'
but now, having seen the new interior, the 2002-2012 suddenly started to look more traditional and 'acceptable' to the W463

that said, i know i'm greedy, but i wouldn't mind having one of each interior models of both 463 and 460/461 in my garage  :)
