I don't agree - this award is based purely on perceptions. The fact is, the G class is one of the least economical vehicles in the world and is also one of the most problematic Mercedes models - there are more reliable SUV's than the G class and far more economical vehicles of a comparable size. Admittedly this old truck looks quite cool, it is a classic.

Let's not get carried away by this award though, Americans are so easily aroused by large, expensive, gas-guzzling status symbols - especially if it's got a three-pointed-star on it's front.
