Move Over, SUVs, ‘SACs’ by Mercedes and BMW Are Killing It
Sports activity coupes aren’t great for driving, but wealthy young couples love them.
In four days of driving, the new Mercedes GLC300 Coupe incites a common refrain: “That thing is sexy. What is it?”
This from a self-identified “car guy” outside a fishing shop in upstate New York, though variations emerged from all types of folks. At gas stations, stoplights, and even in brownstone Brooklyn during a dodgy parallel-park, curious passersby invariably gaped at the strange, buggy Benz. I’ve driven six-figure, carbon-veined sports cars that turned fewer heads.
