the review is actually the exact thing youve described it isnt. "its obviously a joke", 7 seconds later "its surprisingly good". Constant forced jokes, exagerrating, overexcitement. I guess you forgot, if you even ever watched, the old Harris. He was leagues better then, more serious, less verbal diarrhea, less trying to be funny and entertaining, often not even thinking what he is saying.
my half time job is to put Mercedes G Wagens onto train waggons for export. These cars are produced right next to my workplace in Graz, Austria. I mainly drive G63s and G500s because these are the most wanted configurations ordered outside of Europe. Still enjoy every ride although im not allowed to go around fast corners with these brand new cars. I have also driven the older model G Wagen with the 5.5l biturbo and i really prefer the older ones when it comes to engine power. The 5.5l has such a high torque its very impressive, even compared to the 4l, which is also nice.
@@hxkdneuxbxjdidndnxj not exactly. The G Wagen is build by Magna-Steyr. So the guys there are the first to drive them. Then the cars get loaded onto trucks and brought to us. So to be correct Im the third one:)
U know I said the same thing when I first drove the new 4L twin turbo engine. I thought the 5.5L felt much more torquey. The new engine is nice but there was something special about the 5.5L twin turbo, it felt like it was a little more angry, where the new engine feels more relaxed.. just my opinion. I drove both engines in both AMG and regular benz spec and the torque feel was the same respectively
Chris is the glue of the show, and he does an amazing job. The tricky part is to be able to talk and drive at the same time, and he does it well. Always a fan of top gear and always will be.
You had me LOLing more than once. I am 100% getting one of these. I rented one for a few days using TURO and drove it in LA. Perfect car for the city or backroads. Nothing not to love about this thing. Price is a bit out there but it's the kind of thing you can own for 10 years and get a ton of pleasure out of.
The G Wagen really is for people who care about their image. It just makes you look cool. That's what the G Wagen has come about now. If you want luxury, performance and want to look understated, then it's the S Class to go for.
I don't know why but I personally have always wanted to take high powered SUV on the track and just drive in fear and full on rush to lay down the fastest lap time possible!. Happy to see Chris Harris has done just that!.
Another great G63 review. I had to go back and watch your previous one from 7 years ago as it was the first of your videos I ever watched. Keep up the good work.
He sucks in front of a camera? May I direct you to any video Chris and Neal have made previously? Also, how would that make him sound like he had a cold (which he obviously did when recording)
@@vaughnsigal4560 I do not know if Chris has a cold or not when this was recorded, only Chris can answer that. What I can confirm though is that if you listen to the audio through headphones it is flat, muffled and distorted, so it's hard to tell (but you are obviously in the know if you say he did). However, suck in front of the camera? He most certainly does not..
Surfside I was the biggest Toyota fan and an ex employee of Toyota Japan. Then they f@cked me with a safety issue on a brand new Lexus - horrendous service from HQ and didn’t stand behind their product. Sadly they are all about profit now. I only buy MB and Porsche now.
i've never been a fan of the G Wagon , especially the older models. but THIS ONE is quite SWEEEEEET. i now found a New Love. great video. thank you. what brought me here is that i saw one yesterday in the Flesh. it was matte black exterior. wow my heart sank. what a BEAUTY.
Agree with all of you - New Jimny, G-Wagen, Wrangler, Land Cruiser have kept their valuable DNA and "off-road" look. Defender has thrown away all its heritage by stopping production - and will the New Defender look similar to the previous one - like all the above have managed to do? Or will it just be another suburban SUV? Great shame.
In an Auto Express article about the G63 published in April 2018, it is mentioned that “the car in Merc’s initial images features *a chrome bumper guard that won’t be offered in the UK”* but mentions that the rest of the package “will all be available to British customers.” Now, about that chrome bumper guard - why isn’t it offered in the UK like the rest of this package?
You are the best tester ... confirmed in this beautiful review on this amazing car!!! I Love the G ... and your amazing review and slow motion details!!! Great work Chris!!!
I work by llandow on the same road. Everytime I go past i think to myself I wonder if Chris Harris is there today. I often pop in but not seen him yet 😂
Agreed on all points but the old one still looks better. Not better enough to justify the ride/handling maybe but it does look much cooler than this :)
Supercars in Greece in UAE, they don’t take this off-road, they take cars such as the raptor or the Nissan patrol or the land cruiser lc200, in our country Japanese cars are very, and I mean very popular
@@TecDLogic you are totally right i see so many people who buys brand new land cruisers for overlanding and also family car the land cruiser is simply build like a tank
They wouldn't let me look trough the window not to let me drive one :) It is not about the drive. I'm sure it drives better - any new car from any brand is better and drives better then the car it replace... The problem is I don't like the look of this generation, especially the daylights, and I quite don't like most of interior as well. But most of all I like the ruggedness of the old one and the V8 kompressor is probably the best engine Merc has ever done and they have plenty of awesome engines...
Ikr the M113k was a great AMG engine. And the 5G Tronic it was coupled to was more than capable of handling the torque. This engine and gearbox in most of the Merc models in that era (2000-2007) were really nice. 👌

There's nothing more I want from CZcams other than Chris Harris steaming around Wales in something noisy.

That dark green is a perfect color for the G Wagon, looks great.

Chris, part 2, you need to test it off road with diff locks 👌🏼
when you drive this car, people will look at you more than if you drive S Class
Ofcourse
This shits on the S class
If you drive an S-Class, probably people will think you are an hotel chauffeur.
True. But if you only drive a car because you want people to look at you then you have an issue.
The G Wagen really is for people who care about their image. It just makes you look cool. That's what the G Wagen has come about now. If you want luxury, performance and want to look understated, then it's the S Class to go for.

One of the best G63 reviews I came across. The locations too are just superb.
I'm very impressed with the vehicle. The improvements are phenomenal
I can’t wait to see what kind of wild spin offs they make of this new G class, the G63 6x6 and G500 4x4 squared were insane
They need to do another G63 6x6 on the current chassis before they kill the V8’s

Yea but then it also does things off-road that would make any Range Rover cry.
