And this is only the 207bhp, 398lb ft version - there’s also a 500bhp, 516lb ft 5.5-litre V8 AMG model available which manages 0-62mph in 5.5sec and goes on to what would likely be a terrifying 130mph top speed. But whichever version you choose this is a car you’d only ever drive slowly, particularly over larger bumps and dips, for fear of being thrown out of your seat. And regrettably, Mercedes’ electro-hydraulic power steering doesn’t seem to be powerful enough for the G-class: the car’s helm is now seriously heavy and slow to self-centre. None of which would matter much if you were buying the G-class for its considerable off-road credentials. This car will forge 600mm of standing water - more than a Land Rover Defender - and has approach and departure angles to humble a Toyota Land Cruiser. There are three separate differential locks, too, for peerless traction in slippery conditions, and a low-range transfer case for the seven-speed ’box. Add to all that the incredible reputation that the G-class has in 4x4 circles for unstoppable reliability and robustness, and if you regularly venture off the beaten track, you might just forgive the car its ‘characterful’ on-road ride and handling. But whatever you do, don’t buy the G-class because you think it’s a luxury SUV; certain commercial vehicles are significantly more refined and comfortable. While a Range Rover is just about the most comfortable road car you can buy, we would rate a G-class as just about the least comfortable. As a true go-anywhere off-roader - now with added creature comforts - the G-class has a place for those who can afford the premium. It’s certainly got character to burn and provides a real sense of occasion. But as an everyday road car, it’s both antiquated and compromised.

Today we're going to be taking a look at the 2018 Lexus LC 500 technical review. The LC 500 features an all-new rear wheel architecture that currently isn't found anywhere else in Lexus IS lineup. So you should expect a lot of technology from this car to trickle down to other models in the Lexus lineup. Looking at this car you will notice immediately how aggressive it looks due to the sharp lines throughout the car's body panel. Now this car also looks fairly sleek as well and that's due to the fact that curves have been implemented into the body panels. The rear haunches have a sharp line defining it and then it's curved as well to give you that sleek appearance. At the front of the LC 500 you have a tessellated grille and it has a compressed mesh design on the top but once you get towards the bottom it opens up into more of a diamond pattern. You also have triple beam LED headlamps, these are currently the thinnest LED projector headlamps in the industry.
