Re: Sold my H2!
Why do manufacturers always do this.Tease you with great stuff like this,and then never put it into production.Or if they do.Its a very watered down version.

Re: Sold my H2!
I feel ya on that...give me a garage with this GMC, an Hx, and concept Corvette and I'll be happy.
I hate to say it ('cause I'm not a big fan), but the only manufacturer that tends to put concept designs straight out to market is Chrysler; Prowler, Viper, etc. They may not stay on the market long, but at least they looked pretty much just like the prototype.

Re: Sold my H2!
In fairness to GM they did stay on track with the Camaro.The production version stayed close to the concept albeit apart from the wheels.
I have to say though.That when it comes to pick-up trucks.You yank fella,s sure know how to build them.Forget the Jap rubbish(Tundra excepted) U.S stuff is the way forward

Yeah...I'll give you the Camaro; it is very close to the concept.
I appreciate the compliment on American trucks...Toyota and Nissan are trying damn hard though to build a 'big truck.'
It's funny, for years I wondered why they called the Tundra a 'full size' truck when it clearly was smaller than an F150...I always assumed that the Japanese screwed up their calculations when converting Imperial to Metric...lol. At least now it's truly full size...

Re: Sold my H2!
If I ever part with my H2 then the G55 is the only way to go. I already have a Range Rover as my daily driver so my H2 just sits in the garage most of the time. I've been looking at the G wagon for a while now but I just can't part with my H2 just yet...I would love to be able to have the G wagon, Range Rover and the H2 all together though.

Re: Sold my H2!
Hmmm...I'm just not sold on European automobiles. Your repair cost are going to be through the roof. Don't get me wrong...Gs are nice...they feel solid...I guess I'm just a fan of the 'big three;' even though they might not be SO 'big' anymore.

The repair is cost on a Mercedes Benz is like any other car, but if you have the correct warranty there is nothing to worry about. We are on our 3rd Benz and they have been nothing but excellent. The info on the site below has been very beneficial.

The G Wagon aka W463 section has limited member due to the rarity of the vehicle. G-Wagon owners are very consertative and will hiss & snicker at the site of an over done, shinny rims,etc.. but other than...its all good talk.
The G wagon is the only SUV that I gawk over! Once you sit in it and you hear that door slam with that ole school sound (THUNKKK)....you will be sold.
