The rugged G-Class may be the oldest model series in Mercedes-Benzs range as it has been constantly in production since 1979, but the Germans arent about to let it go yet as they continue to improve their most famous luxury off-road vehicle.

We think most of you will agree with us when we say that, for the same reasons the Cadillac Escalade is extremely profitable, it also doesnt quite fit the brands current image being sort of a throwback to the glory days of the classic American cruiserships.
