Revamped Cabin

Gone are the 8-track and cassette tape players, arriving are highly technical GPS readouts and satellite radios. With more buttons than NORAD and elegant comfort rivaling the Bentley’s configuration as the standard commercial vehicles for your business, G550 buyers definitely see their money spent wisely. Seating is pleather or genuine leather, depending on your evaluation from afar, yet cloth seats are viable options when speaking to dealerships.  Drivers can Google, ogle, and allow their kids to doodle in comfort, all with button controls similar to spacecraft.

Many of the same power features carried over from the base G500 model, including 7000 pounds of towing capacity and the trademark battering ram-style front bumper. One major buyer caveat we found revolved around high speeds: once reaching 100mph, even the slightest stomach rumble could push your trajectory off-balance.  Short of running from your mother-in-law, 95% of humanity shouldn’t need to amass 80mph, anyway; however, to control insane speeds, Mercedes governed G550s at 135mph.
