2011 Mercedes G550 for sale. Runs perfectly. All service up to date. Model Overview
The G-Class is powered by a 382-horsepower, 5.5L V8, while the high-performance G55 AMG gets a supercharged version
good for 500 hp. The G55 can dash to 60 mph in just 5.4 seconds, according to Mercedes-Benz. Fuel economy isn't
stellar, but it's reasonable considering what the G-Class was built for: 12 mpg city and 15 highway. The AMG
version achieves 11 city and 13 highway. Thanks to a serious mechanical 4-wheel-drive system, complemented by
modern electronics, the G-Class has the goods for serious off-roading as well as simply taking on slippery road
conditions. The system comes with three differential locks to distribute power in whatever way is best for the
conditions. On- or off-road, traction is aided by the electronic stability control system, which also helps
distribute power left to right. The G-Class is an old-style, truck-like SUV in look and feel, yet its interior is
appointed with top-notch luxury materials, including premium leather, burl walnut trim and wood and leather trim
elsewhere. The G55 AMG adds a Nappa leather interior and natural maple trim, plus 5-spoke wheels, special chrome
trim, and illuminated doorsills on the outside. Inside, the G-Class provides a very upright driving position that's
quite different than in any other vehicle from the brand's lineup; back seats have enough room for adults, but
they're not as easily reconfigurable for cargo compared to most modern SUVs. Also, the back door is hinged on the
side rather than the top. Cruise control, a dual-zone automatic climate control system, rear heated seats and a
parking assistant are included with the G550, as well as a heated steering wheel and heated and ventilated
multi-contour front seats. The latest version of Mercedes-Benz COMAND screen-based interface is included on the G55
AMG, plus voice controls, a Bluetooth hands-free calling interface. There's also a premium, 610-watt harman/kardon
audio system that also features an SD memory card slot, iPod connectivity and Sirius satellite radio and HD radio
tuners. The navigation system includes a 40-GB hard drive as well as live traffic info and Zagat restaurant
ratings.

Next Mercedes-Benz GLK to get AMG variant? Not likely...
Fri, 15 Mar 2013If you think Mercedes-Benz will slap an AMG badge on anything with wheels, think again. Word has it the German manufacturer will not offer buyers a performance version of the GLK, with Tobias Moers, director of AMG vehicle development, saying that he doesn't see a market for the car. That's not to say the picture won't change in the near future, however. According to CarAdvice.com, AMG is keeping a close eye on the arrival of the Porsche Macan.
"Maybe there will be a change in the market when the Porsche [Macan] comes up," Moers said, "but right now, no."
The real hitch in the giddy-up seems to be cost. Moers says developing the machine into something worthy of an AMG would represent "a huge investment." We can't exactly argue with that. Fortunately, AMG buyers have plenty of Mercedes-Benz models to choose from.
Mercedes-Petronas AMG W04 launched to little fanfare, lots of pressure [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013No indoor cocktail hour for the launch of the W04, the newest chassis built by the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One team. Instead, Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton spent a morning in photo and video sessions at the track in Jerez, Spain then paused a moment to introduce the car. The team will want the W04 to demonstrate the World Championship credentials of the team personnel and one of the team drivers, instead of the mostly humble performances we've seen over the past three years.
The W04 has been fitted with a new five-element front wing, pushrod front and pull-rod rear suspension, a second-generation Coanda exhaust and an "aggressively packaged" rear end. A small vanity panel, à la Infiniti Red Bull's RB9, covers the stepped nose.
Team principal Ross Brawn has called it "a clear step forward in design and detail sophistication," but as much as we truly respect Brawn's abilities and achievements, we heard him say similar things about the updated W03 last year before almost every race weekend from about mid-season. We really hope he's right this time, and so does the team's newest driver, Lewis Hamilton. We'll do our best to ignore the parallels of the Mercedes F1 team having signed a sponsorship deal with Blackberry, another company trying to find its way back to the top and still struggling, and just point you to the video below of the W04 in action.
BMW expects China to pass US as its top market in 2013
Thu, 11 Jul 2013When you combine two billion citizens, 100 cities with more than a million inhabitants and an economy that's as unrestrained as Jim Cramer on an Adderall binge, China's explosive auto industry growth shouldn't be a huge surprise. Audi already lists the communist country as its largest market, while Mercedes-Benz is expecting it to be there in the next few years. Now, according to a report from Automotive News, BMW is expecting the People's Republic to overtake the United States in sales by the end of 2013.
We already discovered the extent that BMW is going to in establishing a dedicated Chinese stronghold, when we explored BMW's Shanghai-based DesignWorks studio ahead of April's Shanghai Motor Show. And while we argued that DesignWorks Shanghai hasn't really borne fruit, it isn't due to a lack of sales.
BMW China has seen a 16-percent jump in year-over-year sales, lead by a 28-percent gain in 5 Series sales. Part of BMW's growth strategy comes from an ever-expanding dealership network. Remember those 100 cities we mentioned with over one million people? According to Karsten Engel, CEO of BMW's Chinese operations, those 100-million-plus city dwellers don't have access to a premium dealership.
