I'm not sure everything else is jockeying for second. Think of the aesthetics.

The problem with the Gwagon in the UK is that the new ones generally looks like a Rapper's town car. Only one I have driven was a AMG or Brabus tweaked Gwagon with low profile tryres and bright red brake calipers - it was huge fun on a straight road with a smooth surface and very quick but slow on a long trip as you didn't dare pass a fuel station without topping up. The friend who owned it had bought it for his wife by way of atonement but she wouldn't drive it as she said it was a pig to park in the supermarket car park and her VW polo was a lot better car allround. Their kids christened it "Mum's Kardashianmobile" which I thought was a pretty fair two word summary.

The comment was sarcasm. The Gwagon frame and chassis are no better than the Ineos. You're paying for the luxury fitout, the badge, and the ridiculous profit margin MB has had on the G since the first MBUSA models replaced the Europa gray market units. When they saw what people were willing to pay for a military truck with C class interior components, the thing became nothing but tubs of icing on the bottom line, not the eighth wonder of the world.
