If you like your SUVs to look rugged and adventurous (think Hummer), you’ll appreciate the old-school styling of the 2009 Mercedes-Benz G550, and millionaire off-roaders will love this vehicle’s ability to climb, descend and overtake.
The G550’s styling is far from design’s cutting edge, and interior noise levels and ride comfort lag behind those of the Land Rover Range Rover and Cadillac Escalade.
