11:49 well, you are driving this car with 21” wheels… any ride would be rough, especially if the tire tread pattern isn’t great (which can also contribute to road noise too). I have the 20” wheels with my GLB 35, and unless I’m doing harsh corners in Sport+ mode, switching the adaptive dampers to comfort mode in Sport+ mode makes all the difference, and makes it drive like a dream. So if you had a smaller wheel size (20” and below), and dropped it into comfort dampers, you’d be pleasantly surprised how much it feels like their air suspension.
@@AutomotivePress well I don't know if I still have your attention. But I thought sure you was going to buy that GMC product pickup truck. In my area they don't have a 2022 Tundra in stock yet. But that's smaller displacement six cylinder with a dual turbos has got to look like it is swimming in the large engine compartment of the Tundra. I got some friends that are great fabricators and they build stock cars and I'm thinking maybe of getting that smaller displacement engine (smaller then the V6 I have in my Tacoma) with the twin turbos and just buy that engine hole with the turbos and place it in my Tacoma, that should make my baby fly 😃 I know I will have to get some adapters but that should definitely fit within my engine compartment of my Tacoma..... ............. RIGHT ?
David, Time will tell if this new Mercedes AMG GLB 35 will age like fine wine or go stale soon after warranty. You mentioned that it was built in our southernmost partner in NAFTA rather than Germany. I want to go on the record stating that Mexico deserves a healthy auto manufacturing sector commensurate with the size of its domestic market. I have the exact same desire for Canada and the USA - a healthy auto manufacturing sector proportionate with the size of their domestic market. Like many others, I strenuously object to the use of Mexico as a perpetually cheap, back door entry point to the US/Canada auto market. The fact Mexico builds 3-4 times as many cars and car parts as it buys undermines the future of our Canadian and American manufacturing capacity and middle class.
Yes this is definitely a very sensitive and political subject which may require extensive discussion just to understand the future implications.... always great to hear from you Mike!
My I suggest you post the price, hp, etc. on the screen in a corner somewhere -to hang awhile- for the viewers information. It's is a given that it is a Nice Looking and Designed SUV....but the reliability of Mercedes is questionable and problematic. You better have deep pockets. Toyota and Lexus could use some of their design people to put some life in their designs. And all those features, too.

The best BMWs are made in South Africa not Germany.
Isn't it shocking?

How many Mercedes-AMG vehicles have you had problems with?
Need a review for the new Lexus nx
Yes it's coming too...
G class look is a large stretch!
I can see it. This car and the g are the only boxy MB’s
It looks like a little GLS
