If you installed this system on a Wrangler, you would have a Jeep Skate.

oh , I have no doubt that a Jeeper will see this and order a set.

Jeeps like a.r.'s, they are no fun if you can't decorate them like a christmas tree

Although the majority never leave the pavement, the G-Wagen is supposedly a pretty adept off-roader.

Looking at the crash tests of the newest model, quite a safe truck, too.

Shame they get such appalling fuel economy, I'd love to have one.

President of a company I used to work for had on of the supercharged G55 AMGs. She rarely drove it & opted for her GL450 most of the time because the G55 averaged about 17MPG on the highway.
Hers was proper too, in silver, as most G-Wagens should be, IMO.

Even if I had one , I'd want a body guard for it , to come with .

I gotta believe that they are pretty high up on the "Let's steal this" list

You are talking just under 600 hp and 635 lb ft of torque getting 17 ain’t too shabby.
Maybe just maybe she pulled 20 in the GL.

If I could drive a 150k vehicle 2mpg would mean nothing.

I average 13 mpg with mine in mixed driving. The most I ever got was 17 mpg on a strictly highway trip, driving slower than I prefer (73 mph).

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
