New GLB
A question for GLB Owners :
I thought I have to post a thread as GLB (X274) are my fave SUV ever .
Well, what do you think of the new GLB if you have seen any on the net ?
Would you ever consider trading your GLB for the new one ?
From my point of view, I have noticed some improvements in the interior but two things would get a red card from me
1- It looks like a general common attitude fired away by VW is that on the driver's side door panel , they removed the rear window buttons . You have to press the REAR button to roll down / up the windows . Why ? For two cents . you automotive manufacturers render the things harder to operate . You have to press the buttons twice while you would do it easily at a touch a particular rear window buttons . Only old French cars would have it lol
Mercedes-Benz also look like to follow foot steps of the VW by deleting rear window buttons on their CLA, GLB . You're Mercedes-Benz , you're premium car manufacturer . Some would comment that we have a singe button or know for the door mirrors as well. Yes, but back in pre Ford Jaguar XJ40s , there were two buttons for the door mirrors . It was something that made me feel different and leave a WOW effect when I drove one of those junks
In a nutshell, deleting a button not just a door button is something I dislike
2- Pano roof . It looks great but no longer being able to open it is definitely going backwards to me . You have a pano roof but can't open it ? I'm sorry what's the point of it

I'm not a X247 owner but I generally like the new GLB
