2009 MERCEDES BENZ G55

Gas prices are high but it's still not stopping Mercedes Benz from bringing out the refreshed 2009 G55 AMG. Sporting a revised 5.5-liter V-8 with 516 pound-feet of torque and 507 horsepower, the G55 can run from 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds.

The G55’s gangster quotient is upped with the addition of big fender flairs, stainless steel tube running boards, 19-inch AMG wheels, and more chrome than a 1950’s Caddy. And speaking of old Caddys, the G55 drinks like one too, achieving an estimated 11 mpg city and 13 mpg highway.
