Why do you have to involve EV or hybrid in a G-class threadyes?

One of the main reasons to get a G class in the first place is the monstrous V8 engine, along with the dual side pipes. They fit the character of the G class so well makes driving such a car enjoyable. 

So it's OK to whine about exotics going NA to turbo, but not about a crappy slow turbo SUVs to EV. Gotcha. Turbo exotics sounds like shit, but suddenly a turbo V8 with sidepipes is amazing.

The main reason to get a G-Class is how it looks. No one is buying these for their engines or driving characteristics. They're super expensive, cool looking status symbol cars. It's why they sell so well in LA and why you see them all over major cities.

Sure, keep that ICE for people who truly wants really off-road usability. For everyone else, electric powertrains would be much better. They'd be quicker, more efficient, and likely more dynamic in normal usage.

Furthermore, they're already so big, heavy, and expensive that you could stick an insane amount of batteries in them without worrying about the ramifications. Now you get huge range as a bonus.

Yes many turbo exotics such as the 720s doesn't sound good, but the turbo used in the AMG GT and G63 does sound amazing and is acknowledged everywhere. 

The engine is the main reason why the G63 sells more than the G550 even though they both look the same. In addition, they are not slow, in fact they are faster than most SUVs.
