LIVE

Big news this week is the revival of the

G-Class Cabriolet. I have become

famously associated with my G Cabriolet.

is that it will be a G63 and it will

have all of the accutra that you'd

expect from a G63 and the people that

that goes with in which case I have no

interest in owning the
