What is the difference between g500 and g55

Quick links. Differences Between G55 and G? Tech forum for DIY, repairs, restoration, problems, questions, etc Post here get answers! Post 1 » Tue Jan 09, pm With official sales of the G class beginning in in the US, I'm trying to track the year-to-year and model-to-model differences of the early 00's.

Namely, the added complexities and electronics. If we compare a G55 and a G, are there any differences aside from the powerplant and fender flares? Any driveline differences or brake differences? It looks like the next major update was for the G Class. Re: Differences Between G55 and G? Otiswesty Joined: Sat Nov 05, pm Vehicle: They added a super charger in , still 5.

Are you suggesting I have a friend in Ulaanbaatar at the moment - now there's a thought! In fairness I have had a look on the German Mobile. Basically 20k for a G55 is an absolute bargain. Import is debateable as I am guessing you'd need fly out there in person and see it before commiting to anything.

I'm assumingyou will need meet the shipment upon its arrival at the dock or drive it back? Now germany is a different matter and indeed a very very simple option. I have not read through the links above therefore probably only duplicating was is mentioned there ; the G55 is the 'here I come car', the G continues the tradition of 'all Gs are equal'; in direct comparison the G55 feels rough which depending on your preferences can be a good thing ; in the G got the 7 speed gearbox which improved performance, both fuel and acceleration [answering the time confusion in another thread] and in the M engine with hp; personally I prefer the G to the G55, judging by the commercial success of the G63, I'm not the only one.

Quick comment re Russian cars: due to the cold winters the Russian use special chemicals to clear their roads, not clear what these do to the bodywork. Nowt happening for the next two weeks as my man in St. Pete is on holiday and no doubt they will be sold, but there are more fish in the ocean. What's the hurry? The Russian economy is only going to get worse and ours better.
