This pretty much the opposite of the G. It's a very high tech approach to off-road situations.

Nevertheless, it looks like it would be a helluva lot of fun, let alone the crowds that might form-up watching this insanely cool M-dancing at the local Costco parking lot! Might also be targeted at our aging population, as old farts could lower it down, like a guy on this board recently suggested, and allow old peeps to easily slide in and out?

I wonder if the new GLB will incorporate this capability?

This will be one of Mercedes best Cash grabs...not from sales but from service.I can just see all this breaking down after warranty period is over.

This reminds me of the comments of old pilots who cut their teeth on yesteryears steam gauges, and fought change tooth and nail regarding EFIS glass cockpits, and high tech FADEC systems, saying the exact same thing that this new technology sucks, and it surely would constantly break down, juxtaposed to their ancient steam gauges, based on WWII technology. Well, take a look at a beautiful modern Boeing 787 Dreamliner, and notice what you see in its cockpit. 4-axis fully coupled autopilot. Whoops, you are no longer allowed to look at the cockpit!😁
