That doesn't really look like crap to me, tbh. I'd recommend you never take apart a good home speaker then as you'd likely be surprised and perhaps disappointed to see what's actually inside one.

Door soundproofing/Burmeister 3D
The video focuses on the quality of the drivers, which do look mediocre. Of course, with 25 speakers and 2 amps how much can they really afford to spend on each component? I've got to think the system will sound pretty darn good to most people.
The door insulation is pretty typical. Pretty easy to add some Dynamat to the door panels if needed. You could certainly do a pretty nice custom system for that kind of money, but it would not have the integration of the factory system.

Soundproofing looks really nice in that movie.
didnt find the one with poor soundproofing, that is just the look of the speakers.
i have B&W at home and it does not look anything like that...

GLE 450
Hi,
If someone missed it, in my opinion the best review of the new GLE out there.
Also, on previous model, how practical and good is the electric rear side door sunshades? Anyone with experience?
Here in Sweden we cant even buy them, trying my best to convince Mercedes Benz Sweden to make it as an option in the configurator.
Available in the german configurator. They told me at first that its not available in EU, showed them the german site and now they are looking in to it.
The kids doesnt like to be sunblinded...

From a consumer point of view this practice of limiting options by country makes no sense. Maybe the Diesel engine options but not the creature comforts. It may be for assembly efficiency or limited numbers available from suppliers but then why not more packages vs no option at all.

It is a little frustrating. Here in the USA, so far, we can't get:
- 22" wheels
- Power second row seats (w/o third row)
- Technology Package with large fixed caliper brakes
- Lockable rear floor compartment
- Digital car key prep
- Magic Vision Control
Here we get 20” AMG with the AMG exterior pkg, its bad its not 21”...
If we want the 22” we need to buy the E-Active body control for around 10k U.S.$. Not even considering it.
Also we have to pay 2500 U.S. $ for 7-sit even with the GLE 450, in uk its included (and AMG pkg), also lower price then an empty 450 in Swe.
Swe 450 with AMG and 7-sit is around 76000U.S. $ Same car in UK is 63000 U.S.$, thats a lot
Cant really understand all these differences, all is build in Tuscaloosa.

Regional differences
The only thing on your list that i really would miss is the magic vision control, thats looks really nice!

Longing for someone’s personal opinion and review of the car!
My self I have to wait until May 2020 when my lease of the E220d ends. GLE450 almost maxed out will be a nice upgrade!

I wouldn't be surprised if Sweden has similar specific equipment as the Canadian market vehicles to face the colder climates. That said, we do get the option for the rear door sun blinds.
I know there are several notable differences with the USA market car and the Canadian one, which makes cross-shopping the two countries' websites less practical.
A few years ago, when the currencies were trading at par ($1 USD = $1 CAD) the MB Canada website had a page explaining why US cars cost less (basically they came with less standard equipment like heated seats for example). This page is no longer visible on their site however.

My sales just emailed about order status, car will arrive Canada 1st week week of March and go Canadian certification. Which takes anywhere from two weeks to a month. So he is pretty confident sometime early April delivery.

Just perusing the MB.ca site, and tucked away in a press release, I saw Canadian base pricing for the two models:
Linky here: https://media.mercedes-benz.ca/relea...auto-show-mias
In the photos tab, here: https://media.mercedes-benz.ca/relea...cedes-benz-gle there are a lot of images, some of which have been published before.
The Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 4MATIC SUV will start at $64,000, while the GLE 450 4MATIC SUV will start from $72,000.
