Mercedes-AMG G 63
Black · Black interior
Nothing else on the road looks like a G-Class, and that is most of the reason to book one. The upright body, the exposed hinges and the door that shuts with a rifle-bolt clack all survived the move upmarket, so it feels engineered rather than styled. In plain black, with the AMG treatment, it is the default at any Scottsdale valet stand — and it earns the spot.

What makes it special
- Upright, high-set driving position gives a view over traffic that no low-slung SUV matches
- A silhouette essentially unchanged since 1979 — instantly recognisable without a badge
- AMG-specified, black over black: presence without colour doing any of the work
Worth knowing
The G-Class has been in continuous production since 1979, making it the longest-running model line Mercedes-Benz builds. It began as a military vehicle, reportedly suggested to Mercedes by the Shah of Iran, then a shareholder.
Your Arizona experience
A weekend up to Sedona or Flagstaff on paved roads, or simply dinner in Old Town, where it has never once looked out of place.
