What good GLC Videos have you found?
I found this one today on the LED lighting for the GLC. I'm sure that these are European spec and wonder how they might differ from U.S. spec lamps.

Ah yes, perfect! I'm curious to know how well the remote start is working from the android app and mbrace. Are you really able to adjust the climate controls from the app? Also, from the first video, are there differences between the Euro spec LEDs and the U.S. ones?

Although not a video, here's the little sweetheart that we test drove. It has the exterior color that we ordered.

Too bad about your experience with the 335i.I know that they were known for having a very harsh ride in that time period. Our 5er had the Auburn interior and we were always getting compliments on it. That car was a dream.

The turbos on the 335i were notoriously bad as well. I had to have mine replaced and lot's of service issues.

It doesn't really feel like the GLC is getting a whole lot of love from the press. Maybe when the GLC 43 AMG (nee GLC 450) comes out? *crosses fingers*

While well written, they went to the same two press events that pretty much every other major auto publication seemingly went to.
Motortrend (June 2015)
They basically just re-wrote the spec sheet. I could've sworn they produced a video that had slightly more detail but now I can't find it.
New York Times (January 2016)
I'll admit, I missed the article (but saw the video). It's decent. It's one of the few that actually quotes a 0-60 time (6.5 seconds).
Los Angeles Times (January 2016)
Doesn't really add anything that any previous review hasn't said.
Based on the Atlanta press event held by MB. Meh.
Again, based on the Atlanta press event held by MB. This guy makes me want to put an ice pick in my ear for some reason.
Edmunds (Unknown)
Worth reading.
@JEVA: Yes, there are a lot of them. Unfortunately, most of them aren't very good. No doubt the reason you didn't bother providing links to them?

Not being facetious here but what more are you looking for in a review? The only thing I think is lacking is a head to head comparison with comparable models from other brands and that will probably come with time. Maybe if there are specific things you would like to know, current owners can chime in and help out.

No doubt. And I'll be sure to ask them in the appropriate thread. (Or create one specific to the topic.)

I'm with you on the air suspension...seen very little about it and most of the models in the reviews have not had it. What part of upstate NY? I'm from Lake George originally.

Head to heads would be useful. Reviews with a bit less metaphors and a bit more facts. (It's tough to discern how spacious the back seats are without knowing the reviewers height, for example.) How quiet (or noisy) is the interior, exactly? Again, a lot of colorful language but I've yet to see a review break out a SpL meter (or app) and provide a dB measurement for a given speed. (Alex on Autos does this.) Why haven't 0-60 times been mentioned? What about breaking distances? Is the air suspension worth the upcharge? What about the navigation?

I think it's still early. This isn't the hot new sports car or techno marvel like a Tesla so that's why the big automags haven't done more. However, it is a redesign and a Mercedes to boot so I would expect to see more soon. A lot of the "reviews" on youtube are clickbait photo slideshows with crappy music posted multiple times by the same person or group. I actually reported them but they are still there.

Alex is currently my "go to" guy for car reviews. He's pretty thorough. A couple of weeks ago I asked him if he was going to review the GLC. His answer was yes, but that it would probably be in the more distant future. I don't know why there aren't very many American reviews of the GLC. Perhaps it's just too early. I like Brian Cooley's reviews on CNET as well and am waiting for something from him.
If you google "New York Time + GLC", you will find a review from Driven (Tom Voelk). This is also one of my subscribed channel on Youtube.
