Not my post - spotted on the US Forums, but it gives us hope!

I saw a new G55 Right-Hand-Drive at AMG today. Very good news and hopefully one of the first of many. I also saw 2 G55 Cabrios. Lots of nead stuff at AMG. Can not wait to see what Graz has to offer.

I have now way to post pictures, I will when I am back in the USA.

EDITED - one more thing, it was a very odd color of blue. Nothing I have seen offered on a Mercedes since the late 60s. I also saw a G55L - the stretched G500.

Doesn't look nice, but three proper rows of seats, a proper off road minibus....

Hey Tahir,
It would make a cracking LWB pickup if you cut one down.

OK Tahir,
How about we split the difference?
A "lifestyle" pickup perhaps,
suitably "BLING" of course,
Marcus

as they say it's amazing the difference a couple of inches make........

BTW My father-in-law was in the Graz about a month ago, bumped into a guy who builds them, he confirmed that RHD G55 are being made but no other models (my Father-in-law has been after a RHD 400 diesel G after seeing mine) when pushed if he could get him a discount the guy laughed and said nobody ever really gets a discount as every one they make is sold.
