Thumbs up Mercedes-Benz's evergreen G-class to get another update

Wish more car makers would do this. Instead of changing the styling often, and sometimes with dismal results, just keep updating their existing vehicles for a little longer.

Nitpick, but it's all new, rather than an update. Only 3 parts are carried over from the old car. Every exterior panel is all new.

Ford did the same 10 years ago. The FG looked too much like the BF2, most people thought it was just an update

Nothing wrong with that - the FG looks good.
