I had similar thought when I saw the article, but then there's the price. I wouldn't want to take that off road and get any damage which then makes it useless and for posing only.

So it's a (potentially) cheaper professional pack G550? Interesting move...

Maybe they're trying to ride the coattails of Porsche with their Heritage design

I the Merc asshole decides to plop down on the can and push out a 461.30 PUR, which is the real cross product to a Grenadier, the door wont swing fast enough to hit me in the ass. So I guess in the real world, that means yinz guyz will be suffering with me for the duration.
