Vratenza Supersonic June 25, 2019 Share June 25, 2019 Their modus operandi is any errors or warranty claim, do software reflash or update... Repeat it until one bangs table... Then they change the part.... Claim warranty for door trim corrosion not due to wear and tear, had to threaten lawsuit then they agree on repair "out of good will"... Even repair took 3 attempts for a simple panel.... 1st attempt, waited for 1mth for the part, send car in... Called me tell me that the part is blemished.. So cannot install... Send my car back... 2nd attempt, after another month of wait, fixed but took 1 whole day... Collected... They did not fit the speaker grill properly onto the panel.... Had to call to complain. 3rd attempt, had to send in again to fix it... This kind of service I think any ah beng workshop can do better. 35 yes, 43/45 not sure. whats wrong with C&C service ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vratenza Supersonic June 25, 2019 Share June 25, 2019 Oh thanks! I stand corrected. I had the impression we are talking about X3 vs X5. Thanks for the info! 43 will be phased out gradually. Replaced by 53. FWD platform will be 35/45 RWD platform will be 53/63. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon82 Moderator June 25, 2019 Share June 25, 2019 Mercedes-AMG GLB 45 Spied For The Very First Time Engine spec can take reference from here: Mercedes-AMG Most Powerful 4 Cylinders Engine Look for this engine in the A45, CLA 45, and GLB 45 in the near future. Mercedes-AMG finally announces the official specs for its new 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that goes under the internal designation M 139. In the higher-spec S trim, the mill offers 416 horsepower (310 kilowatts) and beats the previous-gen A45 with 375 hp (280 kW) to take the title as world's most powerful factory-offered four-cylinder engine ever available in a production vehicle. Specifically, the S version of the M 139 makes 416 hp at 6,750 rpm and 500 Newton-meters of torque between 5,000 and 5,250 rpm. The redline hits at 7,200 rpm. There's also a standard variant of the M 139 that produces 382 hp at 6,500 rpm and 480 Newton-meters between 4,750 and 5,000 rpm. The redline is the same 7,200 rpm. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are spot on! Something else will prop out and it’s never ending with all the time waiting. Sometimes I am wondering if they do all these on purpose to deter u from returning for the slightest problem? Lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodCar 4th Gear June 28, 2019 Share June 28, 2019 To be a volume seller, price level is important so unless this GLB is priced to sell, it wont be their best seller in my opinionAgree. If the price is right, I will consider it. Else I will stick to my plan to stick to a Jap/Korean brand to last till retirement. Singapore car price is really crazy and often underspec when compare to other countries. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lala81 Hypersonic June 29, 2019 Share June 29, 2019 personally, i find GLB too boxy for my liking. other than that, it looks rugged on the outside, nice on the inside. GLC SUV hits sweet spot between GLB and GLC Coupe not many would go 7 seater SUV like mazda cx9, xc90, audi q7, xtrail, etc if frequent ferrying >5pax if so...go for MPV is better option i feel. should GLB priced similar as GLC SUV, maybe can sell better than latter (for the extra space and those who do not mind boxy look). additional choice for buyers I don't like the look either. But if the pricing is not too far off, it will sell like hotcakes lah. It's a merc afterall Agree. If the price is right, I will consider it. Else I will stick to my plan to stick to a Jap/Korean brand to last till retirement. Singapore car price is really crazy and often underspec when compare to other countries. price differential very huge leh. jap/korean suv/crossover vs merc proper sized crossover/suv (GLB and above) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

titarium 3rd Gear June 29, 2019 Share June 29, 2019 Are all GLB will be manufacture in Mexico ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon82 Moderator June 29, 2019 Share June 29, 2019 Are all GLB will be manufacture in Mexico ? From the official press release, yes. The new GLB is manufactured at the Aguascalientes (Mexico) plant and, for the Chinese market, in Beijing. Mercedes-AMG GLB 35 Spied Hiding The Obvious * For those interested, GLB 35 will be using the M 260 engine (same as GLB250, but tuned up to deliver 306 horsepower), while GLB 45 (and GLB 45S) will be using the newly developed M 139 engine, which is good for up to 416 horsepower. The AMG lite version of the new GLB compact crossover will probably debut in the months to come. The first one to come will be the GLB 35 caught on camera again while undergoing testing ahead of a world reveal likely to take place before the end of the year. Having seen the standard GLB and knowing how AMG upgrades the cars for the “35” spec, it’s easy to imagine what is hiding underneath the heavy camouflage. The big air intakes up front are already peeking through the camo, while the dual exhausts at the back further reveal it’s not a regular GLB. Stretching out at the Green Hell, the compact crossover tuned in Affalterbach was riding low thanks to a stiffer suspension setup and also appeared to have bigger brakes to complement the upgraded engine. Speaking of which, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder will deliver 302 horsepower and 295 pound-feet (400 Newton-meters) to both axles with help from a dual-clutch, seven-speed automatic transmission. As far as performance is concerned, we are estimating the 0-62 mph (0-100k kph) task will take roughly five seconds to complete and top speed is likely to be electronically governed at 155 mph (250 kph). For an even faster version, the already spotted GLB 45 likely due in 2020 will up the power ante to as much as 416 hp and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) in the flagship GLB 45 S. These "45 S" models from Mercedes' compact car lineup will feature the world's most powerful four-cylinder ever installed in a regular production vehicle. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
