Hot! Mercedes-Benz, What's Next?

[Design FIRST]

I’ll be honest…I like it. It wears the front end much better than the CLA. This will sell.

Frankly, I also do not find it to be that bad at all. I certainly prefer it to that neo-retro faux radiator grill shtick found on the GLC EQ. But alas, M-B IMHO just seems to have irreversibly dropped the ball in the context of exterior design. Even my previously enduring excitment regarding the upcoming serial production AMG GT XX is beginning to wane rapidly, now fully anticipating some kind of exterior design f***-up. Devils are in the details-and M-B needs an exorcist or two. Such a bloody shame, as what M-B has been bringing to the table in terms of engineering and tech has been quite brilliant.

And again so sunroof, otherwise a nice car.

TBH the old GLB wasn’t a beauty either.

I truly hope Mercedes doesn't make anything higher up in the line with a non opening sunroof. An E-Class EV with such a roof would be a disgrace.

Horrific

DO NOT BUY THIS CAR !!!

Otherwise we will never get openable roofs again !

I'm not sure what Mercedes' obsession is with the light bar across the front. Even though I don't think the GLB looks horrendous, it looks weird.
Why have the light bar?
Thank god they didn't have a light bar for the GLC and C-class. And for heaven's sake they better be rid of the light bar for the GLB and CLA facelifts.

I suspect that I am damn near (if not completely) alone on these forum boards on this issue. But...I really like those EQS sedan style front shields. And I find it a pity that they are apparently being retired in favor of these current neo-retro themes such as that seen on the new GLC EQ.

Anyhow, I find the avenue that M-B designers took in integrating a lightbar on the first EQs very well resolved. And indeed especially "well integrated" on the EQS sedans.:

First thing came to my mind when I first saw the rear lights of this GLB is the first gen. kia telluride !!!

 

[Design FIRST]

I really like these new GLB EQ taillamps:

IMHO, they look far more fresh as well as of higher quality than those of the GLC EQ.

 

[Shellshock]

next glb will have also the bottom stripe so we will have an rectangle tail light
This is becoming childish and a design for kids

 

[Jacke]

The interior doesnt resemble the exterior at all

 

[Shellshock]

Imo - Bmw should remain the sporty feeling and looking brand
Audi should remain the middle ground tech design and feeling
Mercedes should remain the elegance and comfort looking and feeling
Lexus should remain the most reliable from all because we cant ask this from the germans in these days when even lexus lost some of it

Cla should be that young vibe model and that it

Gorden was the last on the light bar in the front and back trend and now it looks weird. Seriously, these were all designed when EVs were supposed to be the immediate future and light bars were all the rage at the time. This is where I will give Gorden no slack, he followed a trend too late when he should've been leading.

THIS!

I really hope this is the last MB withe the light bar at the front. At least the AMG 4dr Coupe and SUV better not have it.

They don’t even need to wait for a FL to remove them. They can do it in a MY change. But they should be gone.

A comparison with the front of the old GLB and EQB as well as the CLA.

Personally I think this GLB looks a whole lot better than the CLA or the previous GLB.

Previous GLB looked better from the front. New taillights look much better though.

Jesus… I really can’t stand how certain designs get approved by the board.

That new front end is a caricature, completely out of place, the rest is a dubious, minimal evolution—more of the same and then they wonder why sales keep falling..
