Awesome Vehicle

If you want a "sleeper" that a wolf in sheeps clothing the G55 owns this distinction. A night on the town you have a unique vehicle that turns heads in a down town and can easily park beside any exotic. Then in the morning enjoy a little light to light racing of mustangs and the like this truck can deliver. And if that dose not get any better on the weekend you can take it camping or off-road, where you can lead your hummer/jeep friends around with ease. The only downer is the G55 is a it sure is thirsty beast. But who cares!!
