RE: Second-Generation Mercedes-Benz G-Class Makes Spy Photo Debut

you don't see much differences but what i noticed is the back door. the corners of the frame (d pillar) are round. there have to be a reason why they do that. maybe for sonorisation.

Looks like what they described would happen - lower roof height, slightly wider... hard to tell with the dazzle graphics, but initially it looks like the 'uncanny valley' version of the original.

Horror of horrors, the front windscreen looks like it might be slightly curved

**edit** on closer inspection, my eyes might be playing tricks on me based on the glass reflection...

Re: Second-Generation Mercedes-Benz G-Class Makes Spy Photo Debut

Doesn´t look so bad, looks pretty similar to the W463. Keep in mind the first idea was the Ener-G-Force concept

https://www.netcarshow.com/mercedes-benz/2012-ener-g-force_concept/1...

I am more affraid of the new complicated technology like hybrid engines (had more than enough problems with the Bluetec diesels), 9G gearbox, electronic power steering which will come with the new model...
