The screws and hinges, panel gap, and rear door are intentional. The g-wagon is designed to make rich snobs feel rugged. I believe the lead designer literally said that in an interview. This is what rich people use to tow there boats.

Modern struts do not fail at all. Even the struts on my 1992 Mercedes have lasted perfectly fine after decades. If you're worried about cheap maintenance then you shouldn't be buying a v12 lol.
Sean O In order to say his 'taste sucks' you'd need to take out the word 'taste'. Totally oxymoronic; a taste is exactly that, a taste. It's an opinion. You have yours and he has his. You may agree with them or you may disagree but tastes certainly to not 'suck'.
Bennett Mathias Yep, in my opinion his taste quite often sucks. Obviously its subjective. We're just making comments here in the same way he makes comments in his vids. It's his doug scores though that really tweeks me. 5 for acceleration on this car? Really? One example of too many. Love the topic and presentation but yeesh don't comment on looks when yer sportin a ratty t shirt and cargo shorts.
I'm sure if it was reasonably priced, his complaints would come off as more subjective. The issue here is that a spartan vehicle is being sold for more than many luxury vehicles. That's what makes it stupid.
Thats the whole point of it, isn't it? It's not like they were to stupid or lazy to hide them...it's how it is suposed to be, and it looks great in my opinion ^_^
I mean, you can't argue about taste, but I honestly think that Doug is just a bit to factual, to nit picky when it comes to cars. Things many car guys find great, are stupid for Doug, and things nobody gives a flying fuck about are interesting for Doug. Another example, who on earth cares about cupholders in super cars? I don't even know what he would say about a Lancia Delta Integrale, or a old Alfo Romeo Giulia 1300...both are honestly, badly made cars, but every single car guy I know would kill to own or at least drive one of those :/
I wouldnt pay 50k for this. But if thet improved the steering, and put an actually reasonable motor in it i would pay 50k for it. I mean even a v10 would make more sense.
If they slanted the windows by like 5 degrees, moved the spare inside, added some actually useful off roading options as standard. Made the back door automatic just to give doug a boner, threw in a hemi v8 and kept the turbos, and improved some of the interior features then it would make some sense.
I like how any time Doug criticizes a vehicle all of its fanboys come out of the woodwork. Sure it's not a bad car.... for $100,000, but Mercedes are asking an absolutely ludicrous amount for this thing. I could buy a Lamborghini Huracan and a brand new fully loaded Toyota corolla for that much.
I should really stop reading the comments on Doug’s videos. I always enjoy the videos, but I guess I’m not much of a car guy. All the ‘real’ car people are in the comments being pissed off that Doug isn’t absolutely praising each and every vehicle for each and every reason. Also, people are forgetting that Doug is criticizing this car because it’s supposed to be worth $235,000. You better do everything perfectly when you’re asking that amount of money for a car. This car isn’t worth anywhere near that amount.
D4VE THEFIRST what is logic? People would probably agree if this was a good Mercedes Coupe, you think we have to be able to afford it to agree? That's stupid.
Wow. I've always thought the G-Class was kind of pointless and outdated, but Doug tore into this thing. I've never actually seen him angry before when driving. Wow!
MrWoodii If it sells so well then its not pointless. Period. Don't fix what isn't broken. So its not outdated. Its a simple clean timeless boxy design. Doug doesn't get it. He makes valid criticisms but fails to realize that its these same very criticms that make it a success. Its crazy. Its stupid. Its pointless. Its ridiculous. And its supposed to be like that. Its because it makes no sense that it makes perfect sense! Of course to you and me its outrageously overpriced. But if you really think about it. The people who buy these cars sleep on millions so to them this is pocket change. To them its an investment... The g wagons keep their value very well..... They have a lot of road presence... Since their really is no veichle out there on this same level that exists on the road. And if you go for the 4x4 or 6x6 then you also get incredible off road capabilities. So he is right to be angry... J also wouldn't buy this even if I had all the money in the world. But he is overreacting as he fails to understand that its the same reasons he hates it that people like it... And why a market for these viechles exists at all... And why it sells like hot cakes.
Well, I guess you are right, to the people that buy these, image is everything and damn be the cost, and I get the argument about presence. But Doug has to compare it to other cars objectivly, and objectivly, this is made to 70's standards, bad to drive and WAY overpriced.
He bought the cabriolet bc it's a rare car. It's older and acceptable from its time, and he called his car a Suzuki sidekick, unlike this car which has an outdated interior for a modern car that's over 200k how fucking hard is it for people to understand are you guys retarded? The new g-wagen has a better interior and a proper modern-retro look. Why are people literal brain clots?
The company is completely removed from the cars that are rented. It's like Craigslist or Kijiji for car rentals. I'm assuming you thought he might have been apprehensive because of the sponsorship.
Doug, I think many are just disliking only because you blame the looks of the cars styling on the owners. sure the owners are douchey often more than others, but to change that classic look and shame mercedes for it would suck. It looks better than basically any modern SUV. Lambo Urus or G550, which has truly nice styling?
It's functional design for the military. They are designed this way so soldiers can take off or replace the doors in the field with simple tools in just minutes.
if u asked G65 owner why he bought it, he would have answer: "there was no G67" mercedes knows there are people who wanna buy the most expensive things and gladly makes it for them
Take a look at the G Professional Series. Waterproof mechanical everything, least amount of eletronics/electrics I've seen in any contemporary car, the whole interior can be hosed down if you needed to, THAT'S a proper modern day Geländewagen!
benda - Good aerodynamics aren't necessarily just for 'racing' purposes. Fuel economy reduction, reducing drag and wind noise, minimizing noise emission, and preventing undesired lift forces and other causes of aerodynamic instability at high speeds are all factors to consider.
I agree that people should not be judged based on their car choices, but in what way is that car cool other than the retro looks and the V12 soundtrack? Seems terrible to drive and not as capable at off-roading as cars costing 5 times less..
George Thomas I like the car because the design has not changed. I like they are hand made and the looks. Super fun car to drive actually. If I need modern and quiet I drive my 5 series BMW. I hate when cars change design so much that they look old in a couple of years. Like my BMW.

I mean, you can't argue about taste, but I honestly think that Doug is just a bit to factual, to nit picky when it comes to cars. Things many car guys find great, are stupid for Doug, and things nobody gives a flying fuck about are interesting for Doug. Another example, who on earth cares about cupholders in super cars? I don't even know what he would say about a Lancia Delta Integrale, or a old Alfo Romeo Giulia 1300...both are honestly, badly made cars, but every single car guy I know would kill to own or at least drive one of those :/
Doug the type of guy to rate an Aztek better than a G-Wagon
Godsend_ the G-Wagon lost so many points in the pricing category.
Yes, but the Aztek actually has some sort of use, and regardless of how it looks, Pontiac built that vehicle from the ground up for a single purpose.
Except he didn't? The Atzek is a 43 to the G65's 55.
Yes but why would you want 1 g class when you can have 60 aztecs? Its a pretty obvious decision.
Does the G-Wagon has its own tent?

14:38 *Doug throws heavy shade towards G-Class Owners, 2017 colorized*
I care less about cars, but I’ve watched pretty much every single Doug’s video with a pleasure. What’s up with that?
Everything he's complaining about is what makes this car cool but I would never pay 230k for this car
Makes it "cool" but not $200,000
ua-cam.com/video/blY69sLgK6o/v-deo.html
Look at this and you'll see why it can be a lot better and even cooler
I wouldnt pay 50k for this. But if thet improved the steering, and put an actually reasonable motor in it i would pay 50k for it. I mean even a v10 would make more sense.
If they slanted the windows by like 5 degrees, moved the spare inside, added some actually useful off roading options as standard. Made the back door automatic just to give doug a boner, threw in a hemi v8 and kept the turbos, and improved some of the interior features then it would make some sense.
metamorphicorder change the 6litre AMG V12 for a Hemi? 🤦♂️
..."and it's shaped like a file cabinet"... Hahaha!
This got me xD
Doug the type of guy to clap when the plane lands
Aldo S u stole this from a previous video. L... try again
C. Richardson yeah... from myself 😂😂 look it up, it was on the Ford F-250 video
Aldo S still a L. using the same damn jokes 😂
jokes you well remember
Aldo S true. If it was funny you would have remembered it, and he remembered it.
The following is a list of considerations people that buy cars for 200k+ are worried about:
- ‘which one do I want’
And
- ‘give me the one I want’
I like how any time Doug criticizes a vehicle all of its fanboys come out of the woodwork. Sure it's not a bad car.... for $100,000, but Mercedes are asking an absolutely ludicrous amount for this thing. I could buy a Lamborghini Huracan and a brand new fully loaded Toyota corolla for that much.
Probably Not A Chicken I've always been floored at the prices of G Wagons
just get an ae86 instead
if it had a jeep or vw logo and was a v8 it cost no more than 40k lol you're paying for a logo and v12 engine
Hell, you can get the new lamborghini urus and still have some money left.

Jesus the best comment ive read in weeks!
Steve Marek and all the silicone
I should really stop reading the comments on Doug’s videos. I always enjoy the videos, but I guess I’m not much of a car guy.
All the ‘real’ car people are in the comments being pissed off that Doug isn’t absolutely praising each and every vehicle for each and every reason.
Also, people are forgetting that Doug is criticizing this car because it’s supposed to be worth $235,000. You better do everything perfectly when you’re asking that amount of money for a car. This car isn’t worth anywhere near that amount.
the people defending this car are not car people.
they are defending the choices of their favorite celebrities.
The Juice it is worth it, just because not too many people can afford it
Is it? Or is it because that one rapper you like to listen in your mom's odyssey has one?
D4VE THEFIRST that does not make it worth it.
D4VE THEFIRST what is logic? People would probably agree if this was a good Mercedes Coupe, you think we have to be able to afford it to agree? That's stupid.
For each thing he brings up, I just want it more and more. It's really weird.
You and thousands of others. That’s why it’s been in hot demand.
I honestly want to walk up to a G-Wagon with a screw driver and unscrew everything possible 😂
Arnold K stupid😂😂😂😂
Bruh 😂
You would have a pile of car parts
Just check out if the owner isn’t near the car because he probably has a gun and won’t be scared to use it
I will disassembly all dors first, because all dors holders are exposed. 😂

Wow. I've always thought the G-Class was kind of pointless and outdated, but Doug tore into this thing. I've never actually seen him angry before when driving. Wow!
MrWoodii If it sells so well then its not pointless. Period. Don't fix what isn't broken. So its not outdated. Its a simple clean timeless boxy design. Doug doesn't get it. He makes valid criticisms but fails to realize that its these same very criticms that make it a success. Its crazy. Its stupid. Its pointless. Its ridiculous. And its supposed to be like that. Its because it makes no sense that it makes perfect sense!
Of course to you and me its outrageously overpriced. But if you really think about it. The people who buy these cars sleep on millions so to them this is pocket change. To them its an investment... The g wagons keep their value very well..... They have a lot of road presence... Since their really is no veichle out there on this same level that exists on the road. And if you go for the 4x4 or 6x6 then you also get incredible off road capabilities.
So he is right to be angry... J also wouldn't buy this even if I had all the money in the world. But he is overreacting as he fails to understand that its the same reasons he hates it that people like it... And why a market for these viechles exists at all... And why it sells like hot cakes.
Well, I guess you are right, to the people that buy these, image is everything and damn be the cost, and I get the argument about presence. But Doug has to compare it to other cars objectivly, and objectivly, this is made to 70's standards, bad to drive and WAY overpriced.
It's shaped like a file cabinet .
Next day : G65 sales go down .
They never went down. 😂
The exposed screws are a styling touch....bell and Ross much?
its also practical, if you break one it would be easy to replace
And yet he bought a g wagon cabriolet
That's what I thought as well...he talked shit about this body style g wagon and yet he bought one
the V8 G wagen is more palatable than this V12 one
The cabriolet is a lot cooler than the boring standard model.
There’s a difference between this and the cabriolet. It’s like saying the the F430 is the same as the F430 Scuderia
He bought the cabriolet bc it's a rare car. It's older and acceptable from its time, and he called his car a Suzuki sidekick, unlike this car which has an outdated interior for a modern car that's over 200k how fucking hard is it for people to understand are you guys retarded? The new g-wagen has a better interior and a proper modern-retro look. Why are people literal brain clots?
I always enjoy Doug's reviews of Turo cars. He certainly isn't afraid to speak his mind!
The company is completely removed from the cars that are rented. It's like Craigslist or Kijiji for car rentals.
I'm assuming you thought he might have been apprehensive because of the sponsorship.
Jacob E yea definitely, the torro ones are real reviews and the dealership ones are commercials
I certainly enjoy all of Doug's reviews. But when he doesn't have an owner or dealership to risk insulting, the results can be humorous.
That is the one sponsorship which I don't mind as it doesn't affect his review.
search 5x times litty they are soo funny
Doug, I think many are just disliking only because you blame the looks of the cars styling on the owners. sure the owners are douchey often more than others, but to change that classic look and shame mercedes for it would suck. It looks better than basically any modern SUV. Lambo Urus or G550, which has truly nice styling?
"You don't get it"
No, people who buy this don't get it, the people who actually get it restore an old 240GD.
Candisa or 300gd :) one of my future cars
You can see the door hinges because they wanted it to look like that. Even a jeep wrangler has that.
Jonathan Thomas John The jeep wrangler isn't a luxury suv with 21 inch rims....
but a jeep wrangler isn't *_two hundred and thirty thousand dollars_*
Even his Defender.
It's functional design for the military. They are designed this way so soldiers can take off or replace the doors in the field with simple tools in just minutes.
But the point of the G65 is to be *old school* .
who dafuq is the lead designer of this masterpiece? im looking for an experienced fridge designer
Domi 430 made my day.
if u asked G65 owner why he bought it, he would have answer: "there was no G67"
mercedes knows there are people who wanna buy the most expensive things and gladly makes it for them
The point of the car is that it’s raw and has an old feel
Max Perlov i think its the price point that he is focused on.
donjohnswaggert yeah
If I wanted an old, raw feeling car. I wouldn't throw down 230000. Id buy an old car for a couple grand
But a twin turbo V12 is completely pointless, like all AMG Geländewagens. The turbodiesel base models are the coolest ones
230k and a v12 for that sweet raw and old feel LUL

Take a look at the G Professional Series. Waterproof mechanical everything, least amount of eletronics/electrics I've seen in any contemporary car, the whole interior can be hosed down if you needed to, THAT'S a proper modern day Geländewagen!
With a DIESEL!
"... aerodynamics of a refrigerator" LOL
Vieux Bal who cares hahahahaha it’s not a car to drive races with
benda you're right but still a funny comment 😁
benda - Good aerodynamics aren't necessarily just for 'racing' purposes. Fuel economy reduction, reducing drag and wind noise, minimizing noise emission, and preventing undesired lift forces and other causes of aerodynamic instability at high speeds are all factors to consider.
“ now are there any good things about this car, *no* “

?
George Thomas I like the car because the design has not changed. I like they are hand made and the looks. Super fun car to drive actually. If I need modern and quiet I drive my 5 series BMW. I hate when cars change design so much that they look old in a couple of years. Like my BMW.
