I originally wanted a G55 since I loved that motor in my S55, but since these aren't sports cars when I found an extremely nice G550 I figured I didn't care about the extra oomph. There are other vehicles for that.\n\nI agree with @DougDemuro's assessment that the new prices (especially for the epically ridiculous G65) are high, but at the price I paid for a one-owner vehicle I am extremely satisfied. It's a capable off-roader and very surprisingly nice to drive around cities since it has a relatively small footprint and is thus easier than I'd expected to park. He was also correct that the back-up camera could use improvement (Merc should have done what the new Wrangler does), and the nav system is getting dated.
