Every year, the Los Angeles Auto Show hosts a challenge among automotive designers to concoct far-flung ideas about the future of transportation. This year's theme asked what the law enforcement rides of 2025 might look like, and the sketchers at Mercedes-Benz were so enamored with their design they built a life-size version, creating a Gelandewagon for the end of the world.

That is terrible. The current design is good, otherwise it wouldn't have lasted 35 years, so why change it.

That's really over-the-top, but at least it brings the g-wagon out of the 1960s it's stuck in.

I do believe that is too cool for school. Lovin' it with a diesel motor.

I love this auto and with Diesel or CNG it would totally ROCK MY WORLD!!!

Looks like the "designers" of the Aztek are moving up in the world.

This is no Aztek and while it needs a bit of tweaking for main stream, it surly is a step in the right direction to modernize the G500 SUV.

I think the 2025 and even the 2050 G-class will look the same as the current model. It almost has to be the internal joke at Mercedes to see how long they can charge people $125,000 for an SUV that is shorter in length than the M-class and with a design from the 1970s.

Not crazy about the yellow bits, but overall I like it.
