2008 Mercedes-Benz G-Class

2008 Mercedes-Benz G-Class Model Overview

Vehicle Summary: 2008 Mercedes-Benz G-Class

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is the most expensive Mercedes-Benz SUV, and the heaviest, but it's no longer the biggest, since the far more modern and better-mannered GL-Class was introduced. The exterior styling and interior ergonomics of the G-Class leave something to be desired, but it's one of the most off-road-capable vehicles available (assuming any of its owners ever take it past the pavement). A G55 AMG version offers truly quick acceleration, but at a sticker price well above $100,000.
