Thanks. As for the GLC, I knew I needed to replace my A3 TDI, that I wanted 4x4/all-wheel-drive (for snow, off-road etc.) and relatively high-end (for comfort etc.), and that I didn't want to spend a crazy amount (I've still never paid more than $40K U.S. for a vehicle). There wasn't much choice, really. VW/Audi were out (never again after dieselgate), I've never liked the bubble-styling of the Lexus/Infiniti/Acura crossovers, and I prefer vehicles that aren't dime-a-dozen or cheap-feeling (ruling out Toyota Highlander etc.). That pretty much left the Disco Sport, the GLC and the Jeep Grand Cherokee (we already have a Wrangler Unlimited and like it, but it's on the very rugged side). The GLC had a new design going for it, but the design to me seemed too swoopy or dramatic (hard to explain), and it felt almost too luxurious and "precious" inside (and out) for how I like to use a vehicle. The GLC drove very well, but I thought what while it would be good on plowed roads it wouldn't be nearly as good as the Disco Sport in unplowed/nasty situations––we have a quarter-mile-long gravel driveway, and live about an hour outside of NYC. I drove our previous Range Rovers through everything and anything--including 18 to 20 inches of snow––without the slightest issue. The three final things convinced me against the GLC: 1) that weird gear selector I mentioned, 2) the fact that in the showroom they had to bring out a battery charger to open the rear hatch, and 3) I would have to order a GLC (and wait I think it was six to eight weeks) to get the barebones one I would want with the right exterior/interior colors, and I needed to turn in my TDI. As for the Grand Cherokee, I didn't want to put all my vehicle eggs in one basket. We had an engine issue a couple of years ago with our Wrangler (it got fixed under warranty, but still) and the Grand Cherokee has the same engine. Plus there are Grand Cherokees everywhere.
