An unquestionably cool looking vehicle, but they are plagued with many build quality issues. They are also not made by Mercedes, nor really represent German quality.

 

Really, like what?

 

I had zero issues with my G55, other than it drinking and pissing premium gas.

 

I get that, remember I sell Porsche, MB Audi and BMW for a living. Irrational, emotion filled behavior I get. I just have a hard time with the idea of a tall, high center of gravity, ill handling truck needing more power so it can understeer even more than the standard model. Simple as that.

The difference between driving the G55 versus the F-350 is that in the G55 you dont look like a MMA watching, small penised dickweed with insecurity issues who regularly has too much Coors light and beats up his girlfriend. That and you actually have a mortgage.

 

Rumor,

2011 G55 5.5 Twin Turbo V8 540 HP

With a total output of 537bhp produced at 5500rpm, 590lb ft of torque between 2000 and 4500rpm the new engine that weighs only 204 kg, features Garett twin turbochargers

 

Better stay as a rumor, I do not want to that that big of a hit on my 2010.

 

Moe,

This is the best time for you to move in on one
Yalla looking forward to a thread entitled: "Finally, my SLK55 has found it's long lost brother"

 

2010s are superb. Show us some pics of your beast.

 

You know if its true, I'd be doing 0-60's on every stop.

Regarding the sound, I'd modify it to make it as loud as the SLK55. Well regardless of the engine, I hope they put the twin turbo I want to get one before they discontinue the G-class.

 

The engine will first appear on the CL ( S-class coupe ) and S-class, possibility on SL and G-class.


This is what I got from another forum,

"The upcoming SL63 will also have the 5.5 TT. Now the S63. It's undeniable that the G55 will also get it."

900nm of Torque stock, amazing
