I love G-class up to the current style which makes it look like ML-class

Without a doubt the baddest SUV/truck made. I'd get one in a heartbeat. Nicer then the new supercharged Range IMO...

One of the few still "Real" SUV's out there. IMO it is very hard to make a decision between this and the Range Rover supercharged. Both are highly capable, extremly luxurious, and both have plenty of power; with the 55 having the obvious edge.

Don't look outside of those two SUV's the rest are poser sport SUV's made for socccer moms, and yes the Cayenne more then definetly in that catagorie.

G55k looks exceptional, and is extremely fast for an SUV. i really like its unique character. they are very rare, which i like. motor trend, although they do test cars very fast on average, hit 13.1 in the quarter mile. of course magazines may test cars faster or maybe it was a "press car", but nonetheless, a mid-low 13 second SUV is super fast. kleemann upgrades would make it a real beast. but more than the speed, i like the exhaust note (side exhaust looks the part, too), which compliments its badboy character. i love the contrasting elements of the car, and yet how mercedes and amg made it all come together to complement each other. with the KILLER exhaust note and super boxy look (especially black with polished grille guards), it's quite surprising to find a full supple leather interior and navigation and such amenities. A.R.T's rendition of a black g55 is what it's about...tho i'm not sure they have parts for the 2005 g55k yet. it doesn't matter, stock is killer enough. it may not be the most practical or convential SUV, but if i had the cash, i'd pick one up in a heartbeat for my SUV. probably won't be any other SUV like the 2005 G55 Kompressor.
