Mercedes G-Wagen
By: Thomas_3 : February 14th, 2020-07:04
I saw an article in the WSJ this morning that the G-Wagen may possibly be going away. Ironic as I saw a brand new one on the highway this morning. The driver looked like she just stepped off of the cover of Vogue. ...
Can you share the article link?

By: Overwound : February 15th, 2020-07:29
The last paragraph is where the author speaks about his opinion on changes to come. From the article: "For lovers of unwieldy paramilitary luxury, the bad news is that the gas-powered G-Wagen is doomed. European emissions rules will kill it, kill it with ...

Add before the url and it will treat it as a Facebook redirect. Trick still works with the newest WSJ paywall. Bit of a hassle to copy/paste in mobile, but it can be done.
