I also had an '05 Brabus G55 that I sold because I liked my G Cabriolet better.

it is an import, brought in by Europa. I get it serviced by my local dealer with very few issues.
Russ (formerly with Europa) can get a new 500 Cabrio (and a G55 Cab) imported....but the price is hefty.

I had the pleasure of roadtripping in a G500 not too long ago and, even though I hate SUVs, I couldn't help but like it (except for the gas mileage, but you can't expect to get great mpg from such a vehicle). It rode smooth but, unlike an Escalde, could actually turn to get out of its own way. The owner (friend's dad) said he hadn't had any issues with the car in his two years of ownership.
If I had to buy an SUV, this would definitely be a contender. It's what the Terminator would drive if he had the choice.

No offense, SilverSurfer, as I respect unique projects, but your car reminds me of the car below. Not only that, all the body kit that is so close to the ground sort of defeats the point of a 4x4, as you'd probably have enough trouble going over one of those concrete stoppers at parking lots.

no offense taken, the truck is completely useless as a 4x4 and I knew that when I bought it. I just know that when I'm cuising around on a hot summer day with the top down and my flowmasters are a burblin', life is good.
I also ran this truck in the Players Run road rally in 2005 with only the slightest hiccup in almost 3000 miles. You should see the look on the Pcar, Fcar, and Viper owners when they can't seem to get me off their tail in the twisties
