2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Review - First Drive - Motor Trend

Mercedes-Benz has a reputation for overengineering its vehicles. For example, the E63 AMG S Wagon is capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds and reaching 186 mph, and yet most drivers will spend their days tooling around Beverly Hills at 2 mph. The G-Wagen was designed for military use and yet most civilians will never leave peaceful tarmac. As I found out in Switzerland, Germany, and France, the brand-new 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class crossover is the latest in a long line of overengineered Mercedes vehicles.

But what's new. People want fast and powerful cars even if speed limits mean they won't ever use what they just paid for. They are only "over engineering" because its what the people want.
