If this is your very first time to see the new 2009 Mercedes-Benz G550, the first thing you will say is that is such an ugly car. And I can’t blame you, like all military inspired 4×4 vehicles the G550 looks like a box with wheels.  But like the saying goes don’t judge a book by its cover, because underneath the dull looking interior lies a very good car. Good enough in fact that they have built a limousine version of the vehicle.

The standard G550 comes with 5,461cc DOHC V8 engine, 7G-TRONIC 7-speed automatic transmission, 382-hp and a 0-100 km per hour speed of 7.5 seconds. Now that is coming…

The new model has elicited several negative comments like the rear end design and the somehow out-of-place brake lights. However, nothing is really conclusive considering that only a few images of the new model have been leaked. What makes the new model sizzle though are the double bubble headlights and the new LED fog lights.

For sure, the new 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class will be longer than its…
