These Austrian made SUVs are great off-roaders. I personally wouldn't call them SUVs, but more like upscale performance off road vehicles.

They're unique in the segment. Any G Wagen is bought with emotion and not sensibility. I remember Richard Hammond saying that they are the coolest vehicle on the planet. There's definitely a lot of coolness factor. I work with film industry people and celebs and it's a popular choice for them, even if they'll never be off the road in their lives (well, maybe off the road unintentionally while weaving down the PCH after drinking at Nobu's or Moonshadows.)

Only downside is that they are a very stiff ride. And they aren't great for long distance driving. They can wear you out. But a good choice for a tank-like off roader providing you have other cars in your stable, imho. Maintenance and repair costs are way, way up there, so be prepared.
