So They Call This The SUV of The Year 2025

Anyone impressed yet?









As part of the design competition, Mercedes filled the Ener-G-Force with a few less realistic, imaginary tools. The hydrogen from the fuel cell comes from a more up-to-date take on Mr. Fusion that pulls hydrogen from any given source, and stores the water produced by the cells in roof tanks. The space where a spare tire goes on the modern G-Class is filled with tools. And the roof rack includes a "terrascan" topography sensor that adjusts the suspension for different terrain. Given that Mercedes already sells technology that attempts to sense the road and even the wakefulness of the driver, some of this sounds like it could be on a options list well before 2025.

Could be cool, but not for the price Benz will want for one. I'd get a JEEP for less than half the price and do the same thing to it....Just sayin

BO signed off on 54 mpg CAFE by 2025.
We will be lucky if we are driving a Tata Nano in 2025.
