- Kayteg1Explorer IIThe 4 wheeled G-class cost well into 6-digits and you see lot of them on California roads used as commuters.
So higher price for 6-wheeler not likely is the factor, especially when you consider "cool" factor.

I would compare it to R-class, what is equivalent to 35 mpg diesel wagons that you can't buy in America.
R-class is wagon cross-over, meaning extremely handy vehicle for US family, yet
not appreciated here at all becouse of looks. - JnJnKatiebugExplorerHere is a post from 2011 where a guy took his 1 ton and converted it.
