Motor Trend's take. Or read it and weep!
According to MT a decision was made to put the G on a Benz platform. This resulting in needing to scrap what had already been designed in order to fit the exterior to the new platform. Good news is they plan on keep some variations of the VQ, perhaps with a smaller turbo V-6, a hybrid, and a v-6 diesel. Bad news is MT maintains the new model will be revealed at the NY Auto Show in 2014. That suggests the new G would be released as a 2015 model. That's a long time between redesigns. However, we can take solace in the notion that our cars won't be overshadowed for several more years.

Supposedly, at least the gas engine would be by Infiniti. Mercedes didn;t seem to do much to improve Chrysler. My mother in law has an E type that gets only mild use but has seen a lot of repair. On Top Gear Jeremy and the boys seem to always rag on Mercedes for quality control (which is ironic since they seem to love all things British). So I wonder what we could expect from an Infiniti on a MB platform? Any former Benz owners want to comment on that?
