Yeah, for an extra $30k you get a trailer with a Jeep Rubicon on it to tow behind your so-called G. [B)]w5yk - 2/18/2005 8:25 AM

Seems reasonable to me, and more possible than them extending the life of the G... could just start an online petition too....Shebl - 2/19/2005 10:54 AM
Actually why can’t we prepare some letter to Daimler Chrysler Board signed by all G users and lovers , requesting them not to name the New large ML after our G .
Something like :
Dear Daimler Chrysler Board ,
Subsequently to your unfortunate decision of stopping the production for the G wagon , We faithful users of the Gelaendewagen request to keep the dignity and pride of our G by not naming your new Large ML , after the G wagon .
Find a more suitable name for it but let it not relate to G wagon who earned much pride and trust for the past 26 years and who was and will remain the most distinguished 4X4 ever .
GreetinGs ,
Globe Wide G Wagoner’s

I was wondering just how reliable these "spy" pictures are?? I know that ["4X4ABC", (Harald)] was in Graz from the looks of the threads he has posted. Perhaps he may have some insight into the concerns many of us have for the perpetuation of our collective quirky favorite 4X4.... I can't imagine that mercedes would venture so damn far from the roots of the G class to produce that moderately beefed up M class as a replacement. I hope those pictures are decoys and hype in order to really unvail something true and spectacular that will blow us all away......
Cheers and wishful thinking
