“An absurd, over-the-top fossil.” “The automotive equivalent of an antique, wind-up pocket watch.” “Like driving a building.” These are just a few of the zingers Cars.com reviewer Kelsey Mays has for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, a premium-priced throwback SUV with an opulent antiquity he says only a Kardashian could love.
