I believe that it is very difficult to rationally compare the G class to any other vehicle made..... especially when it appears that not all have had the pleasure of owning or even driving such a fine vehicle.
Is the Jeep Wrangler a great off road vehicle? Some might say yes and they would be somewhat right in doing so, but what needs to be taken into account is that for the most part a grand amount of people don't start "off roading" out of their driveway. In other words.... You have to get there... and that's on paved roads.
Put 5 people in a Wrangler and see how long it takes to get to 65 mph. With 1000 pounds of "human" inside the Wrangler it doesn't seem to have the ability to get out of it's own way ... let alone safely enter highspeed traffic from an on ranp. Oh! I also own a Rubicon and just am not talking out of my hat.
I dare say that should any Jeep Loyalist ever get the chance to drive a "G" for any period of time they would surely say that the Mercedes G was a much finer vehicle in every aspect.
Now! Should there be those who still insist on attempting to compare the "G" to anything else on the road then you are wasting your time.
