A little help please  ... and more pics would be nice  | |

Just curious...that's all. I have had MB most of my life, and if I didn't have a dog, I would buy a S550 (best looking/designed MB in years; love the 7-speed and new 550's hp) ... since the dog won't fit in a car, I need a SUV ... and I really loved my 2005 G55K (made me smile every time I got in it), my 'only' complaint was the stereo wasn't powerful enough to drowned out exterior noise. Every consumer is different, but to me safety is a big concern. The changes to the 2007 make the G 'less' safe. No Tele-Aid means no tracking if the car is stolen; no transmission to rescue services if Air-bag is deployed; no Locked-Out service. The functions not being on the Steering Wheel means more time with my eyes off the road to manage the radio or telephone, and with the way the G bounces down the road, pushing buttons is MUCH easier while holding the Steering Wheel. Based on the changes, I will be looking for a 2005 or 2006 G55K; years with Side-Impact Air-Bags and Steering Wheel functions ... and then upgrade the old 'Analog' Tele-Aid equipment to the new 'Digital' equipment ... I need to now patiently wait to find a 'Certified' G in another unique colour  That can take months, and who know if MBUSA will fix the Steering Wheel/Tele-Aid/Harness issues by then??? | |

Re:dog Three of those will fit in the S class and there would still be plenty of room. Sorry about the loss of your red monster. Where was it taken from? How long to you think the leather seats of a S550 would last with a 120 pound drooling Monster jumping up and down on them, and trying to get into the front seat? ... and he ALWAYS is car sick within the first couple miles of a trip!!! The rubber floor mat in the back paid for itself 50 times over  My G was stolen right in front of my home over Thanksgiving ... walked out the door and another car was parked where it was the night before  P.S They orignally were spec'ed to not have Tele-Aid ... and after much delay, they still don't have it.
