G Series does not have a 2006 year model. They sell the 2005 G's as "Grand Edition". Actuallty since 2005 was the last year, this Grand Edition is more expensive than 2005. Mercedes has stopped this line and the new GL is a new beefed up version of M Class.
Editor 68.158.32.156 has a lot to say about Mercedes-Benz discontinuing production of the G-Wagen at their plant in Graz.
Here are his comments. Note that all were wrapped in [[ and ]]
- 20050708.0522: This is total nonsense gossip. G production of the current iteration will continue in Graz until at least 2010.
- 20050708.0552: This is quite simply NOT true. Production of the current iterations (W461 & W463) of the G-Class will continue in Graz, Austria until at least 2010.
- 20050708.1012: In the last two days (today is 08 July), 2005, it was announced in Europe that production of the existing W461 and W463 series G will continue in Graz, Austria through 2010. The Ward's article is out of date.
- 20050710.1229: Whoever is re-editing this page needs to check the their facts for the latest information. The W461 & W463 G-wagens will continue to be manufactured at the Graz, Austria plant thorugh 2010. The Ward's article is out of date and no longer valid as far as the G-wagen is concerned. This is my last attempt to help you folks have current and correct information.
Pity this is his last attempt.
If we had a source for this, it would be completely reasonable. As is, I'm leaving it in as a rumor. Other editors should treat it accordingly. --Milkmandan 20:01, July 10, 2005 (UTC)
- I searched all the auto news sources I could and found no reference to Graz through 2010. Would that it were true - the new G seems a pale imitation of the old... --SFoskett 12:37, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

- Auto Motor und Sport and Auto Bild give conflicting reports. The first one said 2006 but the second mentioned 2008. The AM&S piece had no date, while the Auto Bild article is from the last quarter of 2004. --Pc13 20:06, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Model Configurations
I think the section on engine types is a poor mishmash of engines available only in one region all lumped together. For instance, there are no current diesel engines available in Canada, just the G500 and G55 AMG. Either the section could be inclusive of all available engines but specify their availability, or leave it empty of specifics and merely state there are gas and diesel engines, blending with the ealier text of the article. Just my thoughts. TimothyPilgrim 13:56, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] New G-Class picture...
I'm not sure about you guys, but I think that picture of what is supposedly the new G-Class looks like a Photoshop fake. Should I take it down until a better picture is found? --ApolloBoy 06:03, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] New car is GL-Class
Official photos by Mercedes show the car called GL-Class. Should a dedicated article be created ?Hektor 13:26, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] G - class?
Shouldnt this article be under Mercedes-Benz Geländewagen? --Dahlis 13:05, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] removal of owner's list
I am removing the owner's list at the end of the week as it was discussed in the Maserati MC12 article that came to light in the Ferrari Enzo page, which although referenced, but when submitted for peer review, several people said to remove the list. If there is any objections feel free to mention it here. Willirennen 11:02, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
