Your reminder that I like the Mercedes G63 AMG.

I envy those of you who live in big cities like LA, because some of the cars you consider common are rare here. While Range Rogers are ubiquitous here, and even Land Cruisers are fairly popular, I can count the numbers of Gs I regularly see on one (or two) hands. There are a couple G500s and G55s, but only a single, lonely G63, and it always evades my camera. It almost did today, but I managed to snap a picture of the once mythical beast. So here you go.

Is this my opportunity to side with Andrew Colins that I think these things are stupid?

If you wish.

To me the G Class brings up the same emotion I feel when I see a Range Rover, just this warm feeling of opulence.

Sorry SM, I would rather have a pedestrian Land Cruiser. I saw one in my town. My first thought was "AMG, Why"?

Sorry, that came out douchey, what I mean is that its my opinion that even rare and powerful doesn't make these special except that they are perceived to be special...somehow.

No problem, I get how you feel. It's a stupid, pointless, and not terribly good vehicle that remains very special because there are a bunch of people like me who believe it is special.

No, a Land Rover is a commoners car. The G is more exclusive.

I actually saw a G63 AMG, outside of the Gamestop I visit with my friend when he came back from Sweden. It may be pointless and stupid, but I got to respect it somewhat.

Nice coincidence. I just did a PDI on one of these the other day. That's a pretty rare thing for me. I would honestly rather have a g500 from 15 years ago. These are probably one of the worst handling vehicles made in the last decade or so.
