There are only so many possible permutations of a metal box on four wheels designed to go fast over any terrain, and from the Jeep Wrangler to the Range Rover, all of them have been explored in some degree with varying levels of ability and luxury.

So what?
Who in America will be able to buy them, other then Obozo’s secret service, or his fat cat contributors?

I like the LED driving lights along the roofline and under the HID headlights.

Didn’t Lamborghini make something similar to this a few years back?

It looks really nice, until l saw the price:

MSRP

$113,000 - $134,300

Invoice

$105,090 - $124,899

And then there's this...

The G63 AMG is equipped with a standard 5.5-liter, V8, 544-horsepower, turbo engine that achieves 12-mpg in the city and 14-mpg on the highway. A 7-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard on both trims.

Apparently a Dodge WC62 really did manage to mate with a SdKfz 231.
