MB Press Release on New G's

MB put out this Press Release today about the continuation of the G. It is for the non-MBUSA market, but what 'they' get first, the U.S. usually gets soon after

I didn't notice the Camera on the back until you mentioned it. 'Black warts' are sprouting up all over it ... in the U.S. you will have the black nipple on the roof in the front for Tele-Aid; the black puck on the roof in the back for Sirius; and now the black 'eye' above the wiper for the Camera ...


Now if MB could only incorporate into the housing of the camera the Sirius and Tele-Aid antenna's

I don't know how they do it; but I have Sirius and Tele Aid on my ML320CDI; and there are no nipples or pucks. The pretty much useless (to me) back up camera is hidden under the lip of the rear hatch handle.

RE: MB Press Release on New G's

I also see they are already listed with photos on Ebay...they have the wood trim. I thought it was suppose to be the marble looking trim.

RE: MB Press Release on New G's

Some much better photos of the new G announced today:

http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/2007-mercedes-benz-g-class/160980/

First good pic of the new Leather Door Handle ... and if you 'Previous Photo', you get a much more detailed pic of the new Camera and Tail Lights on a Diesel ... plus a nice pic of the front

A truly 'Kick-Ass' interior


P.S. DesertStar... the above MB PR, and these pics, are 'not' regarding the current MBUSA 2007 G's (but they might turn out to be the MBUSA 2008's?)

RE: MB Press Release on New G's

leathered door handle but no leather anymore for the (ugly) wood/leather steering wheel airbag unit - for me a bad exchange. the instrument cluster is nice, i am wondering if this cute thing can be retrofitted in the 06`s...

The G500 at the Chicago Auto Show looks to have most, if not all, of the 'newest' features from the above MB PR!!!

Anyone who goes, take pics please ...
