I will show my ignorance by asking this, but here goes...
Why does this somewhat "retro" mud-slinging type of design inspire in this day and age?
I used to think the Land Rovers were ugly, but now, they're not. This looks like it's trying to be the Land Rover of yesteryear. Is it?

I think for many it represents their status, exclusivity, etc. The vast majority of them are driven on well paved roads and nothing more. It also shows in sales volume, hence why Mercedes keeps it in production.

It's very much a status thing like @benzguy mentioned. I think it's also because the G-Class' boxy design stands out even more these days compared to all the other SUVs that all share a similar shape/design these days.
