There is a sliver G-WAGEN on an american sit com, called My wife and kids on trouble tv sky channel number 607 watched it today it is a G500 with indicator mirrors and black leather interior. There were lots of interior and exterior shots of the vehicle throughout the show, could be mercedes trying to up the profile of the G, last season the show were using Fords :lol:

its called product placement. Depending on the production buyer in the show depends on which company they use for vehicles, its a very lucrative buisness. Normally the car companys do not influance, its there agents. its called advertising without influence. although the agent will get paid for how many seconds it is shown.

appy days

Ya I just saw that show the other day, but they had removed all Merc insignia - at least on the rear and sides as I didn't see the grill. Also it had all the chrome bling. Yuck.
