2015 Mercedes-Benz G550; | Cars.com photo by Aaron Bragman
Mercedes-Benz builds SUVs that are more comfortable, quieter, better-handling, more spacious, more efficient, lighter, quicker and better than the 2015 G550 — but not a single one that’s cooler. I spent a week in one trying to figure out why these expensive cinder blocks are all the rage among rich socialites.
Detroit Bureau Chief Aaron Bragman has had over 25 years of experience in the auto industry as a journalist, analyst, purchasing agent and program manager. Bragman grew up around his father’s classic Triumph sports cars (which were all sold and gone when he turned 16, much to his frustration) and comes from a Detroit family where cars put food on tables as much as smiles on faces. Today, he’s a member of the Automotive Press Association and the Midwest Automotive Media Association. His pronouns are he/him, but his adjectives are fat/sassy.
