The\u00a0Mercedes G-Wagon<\/a>\u00a0hit a big milestone recently when number 600,000 rolled off the assembly line in Austria. That\u2019s right, there have been hundreds of thousands of these\u00a0boxy<\/a>,\u00a0bougie off-roaders<\/a>\u00a0manufactured over the years, showing the model line has real staying power.<\/p>\n

Car theft continues to be a huge problem.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

That milestone SUV was a G 580 wearing Obsidian Black Metallic. It was a fitting example of what many people around the globe enjoy driving, either strictly on pavement\u00a0or through rugged terrain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Considering it was just last year that number 500,000 of the G-Wagons rolled off the production line, it\u2019s clear the popularity of the SUV is picking up as of late.<\/p>\n

Mercedes attributes the\u00a0success<\/a>\u00a0of the current generation of the G-Wagon to the Manufaktur factory customization program. It claims the G-Class is number one of out of all model lines for people using the service with over 90 percent of G-Wagon buyers opting for at least one custom option.<\/p>\n

On average, G-Wagon buyers go with three Manufaktur options per vehicle, including one of up to 20,000 paint hues. We\u2019re sure that generates quite a bit of revenue for Mercedes.<\/p>\n

The G-Class or G-Wagon as it\u2019s affectionately known first launched into the market in 1979. Originally designed as a military transport vehicle, the highly capable off-roader was instead marketed to consumers.<\/p>\n

However, many at first found it to be odd, especially when it was imported to the US where Americans were used to seeing the three-pointed star badge on luxury cars, not rugged trucks.<\/p>\n

Over time, as celebrities and other cultural leaders latched onto the G-Wagon, it\u2019s grown in\u00a0popularity<\/a>. Still, opinions about the expensive, luxurious, yet highly capable off-roader run the range, with many either loving or hating it.<\/p>\n
