Perhaps no vehicle embodies the modern car market more than the Mercedes G-Wagen. In the 1980s and 1990s, the G-class was a work vehicle Mercedes would never have thought to export to America. Now, it’s arguably Mercedes-Benz’s halo vehicle (depending on how you want to classify the Maybachs). The G-Class starts at $148,500, nearly $30,000 more than the S-Class sedan. And buyers often pay substantially more than that.
