Driving the Oldest vs Newest G-Wagon

The Mercedes G-Wagon went from the European standard in military vehicles to the icon of luxury and opulence, but how?

Donut = We like cars, and we like making videos about cars. Hopefully our videos make you like cars too.

as an austrian myself i can say the austrian military is still rocking those old g-wagon. i drove one in my time and they are almost unkillable

Can't believe that Donut is officially big enough to work directly with Brabus. So proud of you guys.

I'm really appreciating the increased frequency of Donut Posts

I love how you guys have found a way to bring Up to Speed-like show back. This kind of educational content is what first brought me to Donut and I'm glad to see it back in a new wrapper!

These Past to Present videos are awesome. Love seeing the older cars get love to show people what came before today's modern rides. Makes you appreciate what is here now more.

As a Spaniard, I was proud to see the Granada license plate on the old G 👏

I love that Nolan is always stuck driving the cheap cars

You guys have become my top gear. I want to see a donut series like their old holiday specials.

The insane thing is that the old G wagon is ten times cooler than the new G 🤩👊

Donut doing historical videos is one of my favourite things. Thats what got me hooked on them in 2017 with UpToSpeed and I still live for it now

Whistlin diesels durability tests on a G wagon was crazy to watch. Way tougher than I gave them credit for 😂

I'm really appreciating the increased Donut post.

Calling the W163 ML a GLE is a plot twist I've had yet to witness

Man I've wanted any series G wagon my whole life since I was a kid. Loved jeeps and just thought of it as the ultimate jeep.

i feel like the g-wagons have changed a lot and barely changed at the same time

Gotta love the pronunciations of Geländefahrzeuggesellschaft. And also Puch. They did better than expected.

Day 389 of asking James to do and Up to speed on his Dad

[ryanhollis]

Definitely want to see a pinzgauer video!!

[Madnessnunky]

I wish car companies would make simpler cars like that again. Something that you can rely on and just WORKS when you need it to. Simple maintenance, simple parts.

You guys should do more of these vids. Driving the first version and current version of a model. Comparing them is so fun to watch. It's like up to speed with some past gas and bumper2bumper in one show
