Ugly/gimmicky compared to the regular G wagen but it'll sell well.

Manufacturers desperately trying to make up for the lack of a loud ICE with these shite gimmicks. Crab walk, tank turn, what's next? It seems to me that these 'heritage' brodozers are going to be even more ostentatious and crazy once they go full BEV. And thousands of pounds heavier, which is perfectly 'green' and great for every day use, obviously.

Interesting. Seems like a good opportunity for in-wheel motors. I wonder why MB didn't go down that route, seeing as how no established carmaker has done it yet.

x2, the front of this looks like a toy truck. I hate the future.
Edit - I take that back. The entire thing looks like a toy. I'm constantly amazed that these designs are the best manufacturers can come up with for EVs. The Taycan looks so damn good and every single other EV on the market looks just awful. |

But hey, it will keep all those Euro folks from hydro-locking their cars crossing the Rufford Ford...

Obvious by the sand-tread tires in the reveal videos.

Heck of sealing issue for an off-road 4x4 I'd say, plus the unsprung weight issue.
