    I love the G wagons but hear mixed reviews. The wife wants one. Thoughts?

    Nice, they sure are great to drive aren't they?

    It's a shame there are so many 0 mile cars compared to driver grade cars.

    If your wife wants one, it's great. My wife didn't want one because the doors are heavy, the trunk doesn't auto-close, and it's loud. I don't mind any of those things, so I bought one for myself earlier this year and love it. The seating position is great, especially for city driving, the tech is unbelievably smooth and easy to use(at least in the 2025MY), and it just feels like a fun car, which is a great feature to have in a daily. The 2025 model is great because it finally gets keyless entry and other tech updates, and has some aero tweaks that significantly cut down on wind noise. My wife got a Range Rover, and while it has had its share of minor problems in the past year or so, she loves it.

    My wife has wanted a G Wagon for a few years and I always pushed back thinking it wasn't a good fit for our family. We were taking her Maybach convertible in for an annual service earlier this year and decided to go for a G63 test drive. We were so impressed with how it felt and sounded, we traded in her daily driver and she loves the G.

    New to me used LC500. I sold my Boxster earlier to replace with this for summer daily. Good sound and an honest V8. It’s been great but I am moving on from it after this year.

    Just personal preference having driven it for four months daily and some trips. I wanted a GT car and I got one. The spectrum of GT’s is so broad having V12 Ferrari’s and AM on one end and Bentley and Alpina on the other. Lexus is definitely in the more comfy camp and I realized I missed a more sporty GT. Wife likes it, but that’s not why I buy cars.

    1. My Lab high speed run, to the symphony and errand mobile is the '25 turbo GT. With the rear seats removed, the 4 Boys [soon to be 5] love their Lab cave in the back. Madame kicks Sulla out of the co-pilot when she attends.

      With the 21" winter wheels and Alpins, in rock mode, we have 9" of snow clearance - which us why we said bye to their '24 RS6 which started to plow in 4" of snow.

      [​IMG]

      Both my dailies in one pic: at rear the '25 392 AEV Rubicon posted before, soon to be replaced by a '26 392 AEV, a superb bad rock track and deep snow rig: With Falken AT W's on 37"s we can easily do 18" of dry snow -pics previously posted.

      Ignore Madame's dominant daily in foreground. With Alpins on she drives it into our 6 cold months, now only switching to he 22 RSQ8 with winter 22's for challenging snow depths, and her '25 Rubicon Xtreme when she hikes the Labs.
