    I love my 18 Joe. The car you are reviewing clearly doesn't have the PE (performance exhaust). Nevertheless, I am a fan of MB's understated treatment just not a fan of the lifted sedan look (make mine a wagon/SUV). Car looks much better without the running-boards and glad I did not opt for those. If you are smart and buy it at the proper time you can get this thing for $25-$30k less than a 63. Nevertheless, this car does not compete with the 63 but if you really don't need the exclusivity of a hand-built V8 with extra maintenance cycles then you should be looking at this as an option if in the market for a sporty SUV. Car is legit in real-world traffic and more than you would ever need from a power stand-point. Captain -Content is killing-it !!

    I totally agree on the zonks. A running board on a vehicle like that? And the plastic fender trim, just doesn't fit on an $80,000 car. That being said, the exterior styling is spot on and I really like the interior as well. I would probably go for the 2020 BMW X5 with the M50i trim, 523 hp.

    My problem with German cars like Benz and BMW is that with all the fancy innovations, good ride and comfort, and great performance; all I can see is nothing but trouble from Vehicles that are extremely unreliable and high dealer repair costs. So I could only think of owning one of these under a Warranty Programme. Why should expensive brands not focus on reliability? To go back a little in History; when the Japanese went to GB to study how cars are made and GB's automotive helped them to get started, the Japanse cars that arrived in GB had two distinct differences. One; the equipment that was optional in GB cars such as heaters and radios was standard on all Japanese Cars. Two; you expected GB cars to break down, something the Japanese cars never did. I also refer you to the MK5 Supra which is a BMW. The finished product presented to Toyota could not pass their reliable standards or Quality of Service. Parts had to be rebuilt several times before Toyota was satisfied. No wonder German cars are so unreliable; its really no longer in their DNA.

    But that's not the biggest issue. With this GLC besides not being of my liking design wise, it's too small and the cargo space is a joke compared to the competition. I rather take a BMW or Audi equivalent of the GLC.
    I feel like I would rather feel much better buying a class C sedan than the GLC.
