RE: New G at Paris Auto Show???

The present interior was launched with the 2001 model at the Paris show in September 2000...what some incorrectly refer to as the "MBUSA version" so seeing the same show being used by MB to launch a refresh would not be surprising.

Here's the press release from back in August 2000:

That's because the diesel G was never allowed to be sold here. Although MB smuggled two or three secret ones (not for sale) to dealerships for the purpose of research.

I'll buy you a beer for adding more validation to what I've been saying for years.

Cheers!
