An off-roader the world never asked for, unless you're filthy rich.

SU.
 
Take the already big, brash and ungainly G-Wagen that is already uncool IMO, and garnish it with a load of chintzy, show-offy nonsense it never needed, and voila you have the Maybach edit.

As @AudiMan2011 points out, it's just a big stupid tool, for the stinking rich to use to flaunt their status.

SU.
 
Though it does have good off-road capability, it may be the most pointless vehicle of the 2010s; it was the response to a question that was never posed. It is the type of vehicle bought by folks who have much more money than taste, such as wealthy celebrities, rappers, and Arab oil moguls, none of which are cool people.

This is repulsive. Thing is...you can have more fun with a thirty year old one because you don't have to worry about breaking the bank, nor do you have to worry about your insane set of chrome wheels.

MB, please, for the love of God, STOP making useless variants of this poor thing.

Seriously Uncool.
 
Makes the H2 look understated. It also looks like the product of an east coast Hispanic custom shop. SU.
 
This thing is just so pointless.

It has very high ground clearance thanks to it's polar axles so it would be good offroad, but the fender flares are made of carbon fibre and you wouldn't want to get those damaged.

It has a V12 with over 600 horses so it should be fast right? Well less so when it weighs over 3 bloody tonnes.

I mean, it's kind of cool that it has a convertible roof, until you realise that it makes the thing look absolutely stupid.

But hey, thanks to it's exorbitant price tag, no-one is going to use this for any sort of useful purpose other than showing off and riding around in the back, but then again there are other cars that do those things so much better.

I admit, the G-Wagen has presence. I actually used to like them. But unlike other boxy cars such as the Land Rover Defender and Jeep Wrangler, it has no charm whatsoever. It doesn't even look good in a menacing way like other G-Wagens.

Seriously Uncool.
 
An honest, pre-2000s Gelandewagen is a wonderful sight to behold. Anything since, including the really distasteful 4x4squared effort and the 6x6 are wilfully garish. That they managed to top it with this Maybach version is quite something.

Seriously, is Maybach ever going to be something truly bespoke? Until it does, it'll never reach the level Rolls Royce occupies.
 
Hahahahaha. Oh, we're being serious.

Sorry.

Erm, OK... anyone who isn't from Saudi Arabia and/or have a collection of hawks would look hopelessly out of place in this... thing. SU.
