Why is the G55 AMG my favourite S.U.V ?

Ok. The G55 is awesome and I have two reasons why it's going to be my next ride.
1. I want to upstage my bigger brother who own a G500. He thinks his truck rocks.
2. I love the sensation of driiving a force induced vehicle.
This has to be one of the best vehicles ever made. The level of detail paid to the manufacturing is 1st class. They even pour hot wax into the frame so that the frame doesn't rust from inside. I need a G55.

That will work too, I need a turbo-12 SUV.

If all decisions in life were purely based on logic, we'd all be driving Camry's.

I love the G55 for its unrivaled lunacy factor, it's like a big 'in-your-face' to every tree hugging prius driver out there.

And when it comes to pointless-ness, I think those F-350's with 6' lift kits rank a lot higher on the scale.

According to the MBUSA site the tow capacity is only 3500 lbs? With the hp/torque numbers this thing puts out?
