That's like saying the metal lid of a led pencil that covers the eraser lid is fake. And again amplification isn't fake. Its making it louder. Its not making a fake sound. So that's not fake. Bmw on the other hand fakes sound through speakers. And they are functional. On the track they will make significant difference. And their main function is for styling to make it look more sporty "Aren't functional, only aesthetics" Way to contradict yourself! Aesthetics IS the function! And you can send most of the power to the rear wheels so that it behaves like a rwd car. That doesn't make it fake. That makes ti variable not fake. And so what if it weighs a lot. It makes up for it in its power and clever tech to help it feel agile and fun to drive and that's all that matters So it is a petrolhead car. No wannabe at all.

[@martiisbertgelabert569]

@@eventusvantos2770 That's the point, the function of many parts that use to be there to improve the performance are only to seem like a sportscar, and needs a lot of tech to feel like one. I don't like this car becouse represents the end of the analogic sportscar. I'm sure ir perfoms pretty well, but would not be my way if i had the cash and i would go for a sportscar. A lightweigt machine under the control of the driver vs a powerfull mole that calculates all for you and goes brum. Thanks, i won't keep it.

It’s a cool wagon, so here in the US we don’t get it bcuz of our stupid crossover obsession.

[@YegaSRT]

Mercedes models really confuse me. I started having a look at their range and there are so many trims and versions I got lost.

[@kentavirus2100]

it's actually more confusing than Porsche which is an achievement

[@godlyweirdo]

Its not confusing at all if you look into. Cars have 5 core models, ABCES. SUVs fall under the G line and all start with GL, after that comes the model line, for example the GLA Class (GL for SUV and the A for its model line). Coupes are CL and roadsters are SL.

[@StrangerHappened]

@@godlyweirdo Still confusing. This CLA from the video comes from A-class but is bigger so it should be B- or C-class.

[@godlyweirdo]

@@StrangerHappened its really not confusing. The CLA is the coupe version of the A Class, idk whats hard about that. The GLA Is the SUV version of the A Class and so on and so forth.

[@uuuu260]

@@godlyweirdo It's confusing because they have their own cars competing in categories, specifically sedans. Like this car competes with AMG C63. Or for example, you have the E class coupe that has a starting price like the CLS coupe. To a normal consumer who wants a Mercedes I think it'd be a little confusing. IMO I think having C, E, S, & maybe CLS for sedans makes sense, they all start farther apart in price and the different upgrades closes the gap

10:55 There's actually also an aero pack with a big fixed spoiler

It's not available in the UK. Nor is the heads up display. I hate MB for that

@@Manuel-me1yi Make up your mind... All these cars belong to different segments. You're talking about sport compact sedan, super full size sedan, and a supercar...

You can actually have an improved aerodynamics pack with a wing similar to the a45s wing. Or at least in germany

[@hightiernub1313]

I really like these new designs incomparison to even the S class and even C class. I like how the front nose has an angle that goes down to the front fascia and has the right length from the driver seat area or cockpit area. The front wheels just sit in between in the center between the front and windshield. It just looks nice. Compared to the really enlongated nose generally that Mercedes has on former Sedans. I hope they further use this design on other models. What do you guys think?

[@BestGamer-mk6vs]

Same I really like this design, but most aren’t like this because they have V8 engines and they’re larger which makes them have to increase the size of the front

[@BIGGELATO]

1:42 I don't want a C63 for the performance, a 4 cylinder can do better than a V8, especially with AWD. The only reason I want a V8 is purely for the sound of a V8 and its thunderous exhaust rumble... Cross-plane, flat-plane, DOHC, OHV, forced induction, N/A, long tube or shorty header, H or X pipe, etc. 4 cylinder for the daily commuter, V8 for nights and weekends. But if I could, I would daily a 1960s/1970s domestic restomod all day, everyday.
