# Morgan 3-Wheeler Versus Mercedes-AMG G63: A Very Biased Comparison

![](<https://www.thedrive.com/wp-content/uploads/images-by-url-td/content/2017/10/img_0019.jpg>)

The list of cars "defeated" by my [Cannonball record-setting Morgan 3-Wheeler](<https://www.thedrive.com/accelerator/949/youre-all-cowards-why-the-morgan-3-wheeler-cannonball-record-matters>) is getting longer by the week: the [Porsche 911](<https://youtu.be/aqI9iZ5HtqI>), the [Ford Mustang GT](<https://youtu.be/qr7lkzGUfOk>), the [e-Moke](<https://youtu.be/80tHxsqODrM>), the [Land Rover Series 1](<https://youtu.be/KNFnbKIMx-s>), and the [Vanderhall Venice](<https://youtu.be/JHik9yWRg7g>). But just when I thought the only thing that could defeat it was [another Morgan 3-Wheeler](<https://youtu.be/PNNc75LRM1s>), Germany came back for a rematch. This past weekend, I was handed the keys to a giant, overly-powerful Mercedes-AMG G63—which, in my opinion, is basically the Harvey Weinstein of SUVs—and a true battle was on.

Or was it?

Seriously, what was the Mercedes's owner thinking? The G63 is a terrible vehicle by any measure. Even if it's working perfectly, there is literally nothing good about the venerable G-wagen, except as a symbol. A symbol of bad taste, bad judgment, and disposable income better spent on countless other cars.

Which makes it the perfect opponent to my Morgan 3-Wheeler...except in the taste department. Who wouldn't want a Morgan? Only someone who enjoys paying for sex and wants to make enemies. Every Morgan—even a rusted shell *sans* engine and wheels—is a delightful conversation piece and invitation to the nearest dinner party. Every G-wagen? Ugh. Groucho Marx once said he didn't want to belong to any club that would have him. The G63 is how you get there.

What happens when the G63—[so generously reviewed in G65 form by one of my colleagues at *The Drive*](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/15311/the-final-mercedes-amg-g65-is-a-366000-tank-wearing-bronzer>)—faces off against my Morgan? Exactly what you think. The events of 1945 are not avenged; once again, the U.K. demonstrates why numbers and specs don't matter, the English make better music, and quality is more important than quantity. Actually, I take that back. Quality doesn't matter either, because no one cares.

Enjoy the slaughter:
