Whether you'd love to put a huge ribbon over a Mercedes-AMG G63 and place one under your Christmas Tree or you're looking forward to the day when the thing finally goes out of production, you simply can't ignore the Gelandewagen, especially in Affalterbach trim.
So what if you're a famous YouTuber in his 20s, like Parker from Vehicle Virgins, who now has his first "official" encounter with a 2017 G63?

The answer to this question comes in the piece of footage at the bottom of the page, which sees the man spending some overly wintery time inside the rugged machine.

However, don't expect the 9-minute clip to be a plow-through-the-snow adventure - that would've probably led to tons of praise for the G63. Instead, we're dealing with a cold season traffic and parking experience, which, as you've guessed by now, explains the spoilers we dropped in the title above.

Do keep in mind that the name of the YouTube channel can pretty much be taken literally, so don't be surprised to see that Parker seems to ignore the fact that nobody buys this motoring icon for the way it drives.

If you're into Gelandewagen tales, you'll have a blast next year, when the German automaker is set to introduce the first all-new incarnation of the G-Wagen since the car was born back in 1979.

We're eager to see how the three-pointed star will mix the traditional characteristics of the G-Class, such as the terrain-taming ladder frame chassis and the three locking differentials, with modern driving requirements like a roomier cabin. Oh, and let's not forget the high-speed cornering therapy the offroader is currently going through.

Speaking of which, here are the latest spyshots of the upcoming G-Class. Wait, there would also be those spy pics portraying the potential Maybach-touched version of the 4x4 Squared model...
