By Date

Mercedes-Benz has redefined the G-Wagen. On Sunday, it revealed the 2019 G550 during the Detroit Auto Show. While the exterior looks much the same as the big, boxy icon, it’s finally a remade vehicle with modern technology. Like your remodeled Palm Springs midcentury house, its up-to-date inside. That’s important, given that Mercedes’ most upmarket customers pick this car over any other SUV in their lineup. It’s a retro-looking unapologetic car that actually works in the modern-tech world.

When it comes to the interior UX, the 2019 G-Wagen has all the updated entertainment features, despite its classic rough exterior. Its voice assistant has two TFT screens, and makes it feel like a modern car on the inside, finally. The G-Wagen is still a style statement, and it is incredibly impractical if you live in the real world. This launch is an attempt to bring it more in line with its sedan, like the S-Class, the flagship vehicle.

Finally Mercedes-Benz  has in-car tech that incorporates voice assistance, and its a system that actually works. We tried out the MBUX voice assistant at CES in the A-Class prototype. It works as logically as Alexa.

It’s worth mentioning the G-Wagen, has off-road skill that most owners won’t use. Its skills reinforce the invincible image of the original G-Wagen, introduced nearly 40 years ago.

There’s more to come, in the AMG form, the high-performance marque of Mercedes. But here you have the ideal luxury SUV, to drive on your ski resort holiday.

But the farm's repurposed horse barn was recently filled with the billionaire couple's collection of vintage muscle cars worth millions of dollars. The Segerstrom family began amassing their immense fortune in the 1960s, when Ted's father transformed part of their farmland into what is today some of the most expensive real estate in the world: the highest-grossing mall in the U.S., California's South Coast Plaza. Ted's love of classic cars began when he was a child and has continued throughout his life. Vintage rides even play a role in "When we were dating back in the 70s — our first date in my '72 Mach 1— we got in an accident," says Ted...
