good people the masses are at the very bottom supporting the whole thing yeah I guess you could see it hard to make out yeah but yeah it's we have it on the in color on the newsletter censored Facebook page you could see all this great stuff probably look at on the refrigerator right you have any more magnets no not available don't lose that bill oh my god no that's my vitamin bill you need more magnets they are Magna Carta magnet please maggots yeah at least four of them pyramid of the capitalist system okay what do we got there chief the house narrowly rejected a challenge to the National Security Agency's secret collection of hundreds of millions of Americans phone records Wednesday night after a fierce debate pitting privacy rights against the government's efforts to thwart terrorism the vote was 217 to 205 on an issue that created unusual political conditions excuse me coalitions in Washington with libertarian leading conservatives and liberal Democrats pressing for change against the Obama administration the Republican establishment and Congress's national security experts a showdown vote mark the first chance for lawmakers to take a stand on the secret surveillance program since former NSA systems analyst Edward Snowden leaked classified documents last month spelled out the monumental scope of the government's activities yeah lacking the NSA program were 134 Republicans 83 Democrats including House Speaker John Maynard who typically does not vote and Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi rejecting the administration's last-minute please to spare the surveillance operation were 94 Republicans and 111 Democrats it is unlikely to be the final word on government intrusion to defend the nation and American civil liberties you see to date to date mind you they claim of that this spying has allowed them to prevent over 50 terrorist attacks got any proof yet of anyone please just one just one no give us proof on just one hasn't come forth but that's great because it's a lie it's a lie it's a lie that was Frankenstein what do you think it's alive oh it's alive it's alive was that young Frankenstein yes with Peter Boyle the late Peter Boyle yeah Marty Feldman not the doctor Marty Feldman that Gary this is the guy with the eyes that used to fall out of his head bug out of his head from England that's usually a cause a character actor thyroid oh bugging out of eyes yeah it's one of the symptoms of hyperthyroid these are bulging eyes not not big eyes like mine I mean they're these are bulging eyes Marty Feldman had it is have 12 years gone by and our memories faded so badly that we forgot what happened on September 11 representative Mike Rogers Republican of Michigan chairman of the Intelligence Committee said in pleading with his colleagues to back the program during House debate Republican representative Justin Amish of Michigan Amish he's not Amish it could no it's an M.A.S.H. okay chief sponsor of the repeal effort said his aim was to end the indiscriminate collection of Americans phone records his measure offered as an addition to a $598.3 billion defense for 2014 would have canceled the statutory authority for the NSA program ending the agency's ability to collect phone records and metadata under the USA Patriot Act unless it identified an individual under investigation a crook a terrorist an individual now they just take any amount of information they want from anybody and they like stopping frisk right oh yes over New York they do stop and fill you up she's I don't even know if it's that good they based the top of risk you know based on what you look like if you look suspicious oh no no no no don't be fooled if you look suspicious like if you're like it is based on what you look like but it means the color of your skin they just don't come out and say it so you can play Zimmerman if you're a New York City cop and say hey yo you you over there stop freeze remember we will look like you're up to no good I'm gonna risk you we were discussing the right of juries yeah the jury note nullification yeah well two jurors have come forward right now yeah and said they say Zimmerman is guilty but the way the judge read the law to them and the way the law reads they could not convict but they as I said they do not understand the power of the jury now they could have nullified right the decision now Zimmerman whether or not he was able to physically reach his gun if Trayvon Martin had him in that mountain pound mount and pound mixed martial art position supposedly allegedly whether or not he can reach his gun or not the fact that a matter is and stop me if I'm wrong and tell me if I'm right because I don't have all the detailed facts Zimmerman wasn't was not a police officer he was not a licensed security officer he was off the premises of his gated community right he was on the street somewhere in his he was not on the property of where he lived he was in in the in the area and he was told and on the recording by 911 not to follow and pursue we don't need you to do that this young man it is not your responsibility we don't want you to do that you you he he did the right thing by reporting it but he did the wrong thing by following and pursuing Trayvon Martin and he wasn't supposed to do that and and he instigated and he engaged in this incident he instigated it and caused the altercation now then if this is true then then Zimmerman is in the wrong correct definitely without a doubt but and Trayvon is unarmed but yeah the stand your ground wall yeah states that if you enter into the situation it doesn't matter if you're the perpetrator it did stand the other thing if when you enter that situation at a time you feel that your life is under attack you had the right under Florida law to defend yourself to stand your ground and to kill the other person even though you followed and stalked the right the other individual that's why these two jurors eventually went along with the other four now what is to stop someone someone in Florida who has a grudge against against a let's say a former employer or a former friend and decides to stalk and follow this person that they don't like for personal reasons and blow them away and and say well I felt threatened with who's this who's to stop people from taking the law into their own hands and playing vigilante in situations where they are not apprehending a criminal they just want to rub out bump off somebody they don't like what's this all this from happening can get away with it see the problem with this stand your ground wall yep you know you could take it upon yourself to to kill somebody that you don't like for whatever personal reasons and it was unarmed and let's just say that you let's just say that you were following some dumb John Jambaloni and you got the gun yeah and so you got the gun and you feel like a big shot and you go and confront this guy and somewhere in the altercation the other guy gets the upper hand gets a gun as you're a little weak and not a knock the gun out of your hand no gets the upper hand in some way over you and you take out the gun and you blow them away well if you're if you're what mining your own business and you're taking a stroll in Florida and you're mining your own business and somebody tries to mug you that's one thing you're not looking for trouble trouble is looking for you and wants to make a victim out of you that's one thing I'm all for self-defense but but if you're out there following somebody or pursuing somebody stalking whatever you wanted to say whatever words you want to use and your premeditated intention is to start trouble with this individual and follow them and hurt them maim them or kill them then using the stand your ground law is a very bad thing because then anybody could use it as an excuse remember to hurt anybody they don't like remember in the black community especially when you're a young child kid yeah there is this fear of the predator guy following you to rape you would do something bad because that because of the neighborhood they they're in now like a white kid in Florida after the Zimmerman trial a white kid accidentally stumbled in the wrong neighborhood and the black the black kids killed him shot him this happens out of out of revenge revenge for what happened with Zimmerman and his kid is just innocent bystander hey the mob killed Jesus didn't me I mean this happens well he's an innocent bystander but then again if he's from Florida he must have known what that what that neighborhood was maybe he was in that neighborhood to buy drugs this white kid I mean if you're from if you're from Florida and you're whether regardless where race you are you know what neighborhoods are seedy and what neighborhoods are nice so regardless he they killed him so but the news didn't cover it you know the news media is in America is really they don't they don't never go to the the the the source to the core now or anything like that like the BBC will tell you more truth about America then you will learn from an American news agency or any of the European Spain any of the European news people yeah Russia or even Latin American news you will hear and see very graphic things and hear down and dirty facts and truths about everything but not in the United States media so anyway finish that Zimmerman not reading well this was not about Zimmerman oh it was about standing ground right no this was about the spying oh we just got off the track we got off the track we got derailed oh man you see how unpredictable progressive discussions is alright the house later voted to pass the overall defense bill yeah 315 to 109 Amash the guy from Michigan Amash told the house that his effort was to defend the Constitution and defend the privacy of every American two good things correct yeah but they voted down his bill they allow the NSA to continue with its spying on innocent American opponents of this amendment will use the same tactic that every government throughout history has used to justify its violation of rights fear shall we go back to mr. Gale balloons mr. Gale wheels fear what do you talk to garbles oh garbles fear it's not like you garbled the garbles his name I did garbled good what what what we haven't rang it yet all day oh my god I told her told about nine Joe 11 he bells how many Central was looking for me the levity bells either I forgot to ring them now actually we never we have we didn't say anything funny yet they will tell you that the government must violate the rights of the American people to protect us protect our freedom yes how the hell do we have freedom if we'll be inspired everything with the conservatives is hypocrisy hypocrisy and and and and and crookedness stupid stupid you know stupid down on his face ideology based on stupidity on not knowing the facts the unlikely political coalitions were on full display during a spirited but brief house debate let us not deal in false narratives let's deal in Fox that will keep Americans safe facts said representative Michelle Bachman Republican of Minnesota bubble-headed Bachman you know she well let's deal in Fox fact she's never dealt in a fact in her life neither has most you know a fact that she tripped over it neither has most Republicans look bubble-headed Michelle Bachman bubblehead Bachman and Sarah Nalyn Palin the two numbskulls the two idiots they they're I gotta admit they're they're good-looking older women that's all I was just gonna say they're good-looking in my all they're only good for one thing is to do you know older cougar whatever you want to call them older women porn you don't have to put a bag on her head but you got to put a gag in your mouth no you got a gag got a gag if you have sex with them you got a guy got a gag you don't want to hear what they have to say but they're good they're good enough to bang they're good they're bangable but not to elect to any I wouldn't elect them to door catcher now animal control you have to be a little bit more sensitive than shooting wolves from a helicopter oh what a macho way to hunt yeah oh yeah that's an even playing field shooting a wolf from a helicopter who's that palin yeah yeah I wonder how I wonder how they they deal with Alaskan brown a grizzly bears up there hey she can dress on moose in the field baby because she dressed herself no she does dress good or she's good at undressing when she had that boyfriend of hers when she was married now we're talking she supposedly got got shooked no but you just gave me an image in my head when you said she should be undressed yeah she should be discussing undressing not dressing dressing a moose well they're very carnivorous up in Alaska they love their they're gonna playboy should offer her you know to pose they love it playboy offer playboy off at her no I said should playboy a million dollars a piece for both of them play listen I wonder if they do it um Larry no not maybe not they would they probably would be very upset if Larry Flint offered them ah yeah I don't think they'd go for hustler but they might go playboy yeah he just for the hell of it you have to should offer to both of them million bucks what's the worst that can happen though they'll get mad and say no yeah but he'd sell a lot of magazines you kidding me absolute and they'll win elections because of all the erections but what they win elections because of all the erections beautiful funny funny goals a member of the intelligence committee who implored her colleagues to pack a program that she argued was vital in combating terrorism so she's in favor of the NSA spying on innocent Americans I think all Republicans are in favor of that yeah well so what was it 80 some or whatever Democrats do that's very very fascist yeah well blue dogs right something blue balls blue dog they're only against the Constitution it's unconstitutional to do it yeah but they're getting away with you know what we're protecting you I say again they said they did there were 50 times that these things protected us I want to see proof of one that's all proof all things whole fast that which is good that's alone it's that's correct but represented at Jim sense and Brenner Republican of Wisconsin does he have a sense sense and Brenner not a case senseless change the name to senseless Brenner a senior member of the judiciary committee who helped write the Patriot ad yeah insisted the time has come to stop the collection of phone records that goes far beyond what he envisioned so even he knows that it's wrong we've gone too far several Republicans acknowledge the difficulty in balancing civil liberties against national security but they expressed suspicion about the Obama administration's implementation of the NSA programs and the anger at director of national intelligence James Clapper clap on clap off clap on clap off the clapper that brings to mind I get long as you don't have to clap it's either clapper or crapper I think it's crapper is the guy who invented his toilet yeah his last name was crapper yeah yeah very funny the old lady almost missed their hands when she clapped remember maybe she had a little difficulty I don't think I'll make it fun of older people a little difficult the woman that used to say where's the beef she died yeah yeah right now the balancing is being done by people who do not know people who lied to the Congress he said represented a Mick Mulvaney Republican of South Carolina those stupid laws they have done I forget about it come on they're still fighting the Civil War not only that they had they're stuck in all these these morality laws they're so holy of them down there you know based on what certainly not the Bible you know me yeah they're so pure technically prudish and anti-sexuality and a probably homophobic you know and and stuff like that and meanwhile they're probably robbing the taxpayers money-blind corruption and you mean in the state and in the city is the state in the county they don't look at the sins that they commit monetary sins well nobody sees the moat in their own eye they only see the beam in yours yeah as the Bible said yeah yeah he was referring to clapper okay who admitted he gave misleading statements to Congress on how much the United States spies on Americans clapper apologize to lawmakers earlier this month that's a crime that's a crime why is he not in jail mr. clapper yes it's a lot it's a it's a crime to lie to Congress yes you think I should grow whiskers like mr. and yes yes yeah go to you like no this the one that's just the one in the middle of it okay after saying in March that the United States does not gather data on citizens something that Snowden revealed as false by releasing documents showing the NSA collects millions of phone records with a flurry of letters statements and tweets both sides lobbied furiously in the hours prior to the vote in the Republican controlled house in a last minute statement clapper warned against dismantling a critical intelligence tool since the September 11th 2001 attacks Congress has authorized and a Republican and a Democratic president has signed extensions of the powers to search records and conduct roving wiretaps in pursuit of terrorists in one that's all I ask name why I'm not asking for much just one just name one that's it if some proof man I got I got a run to the to the outhouse and start the next reading I'll be back in a flash as most people know who are in the nutritional business or the nutritional studies or education and teaching a study released the same year from the Cleveland clinic of 36,000 men who took vitamin E selenium both or neither found that those who took vitamin E had a 17% greater risk of prostate cancer there are two classes of vitamins water soluble such as bees and C and fat soluble such as A D E and K which get absorbed by the body and are stored in the liver and the fatty tissue those are the ones that can become toxic if we get too much of them said dr. Carla germinario germinario an internist that holy name medical center in tineck, New Jersey indeed okay in February the United States preventive services task force an independent panel of the United States health experts recommended that healthy post-menopausal women not take vitamin D and calcium supplements oh sure they don't want they don't want older women to be optimally healthy well that'll cut into their business of osteoporosis yeah yeah you know I mean America heaven forbid the the the American healthcare industry controlled by big pharma should lose profit taking these supplements has no net benefit for the primary prevention of fractures and could increase the likelihood of kidney stones if you're taking the proper calcium with magnesium with magnesium well not at the same time right you can do that oh


What is up you guys, welcome back to another one. If you're new to the channel, I'm Gullpony out in your car truck, at CB reviews on YouTube. And today we are in the brand new 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class courtesy of Mercedes-Benz of Hagerstown in Hagerstown, Maryland for more information on their inventory. Please feel free to check out the link in the description box below. And so we're in this one today because it has been completely redesigned for the 2022 model year. And this actually marks the start of a brand new generation for the C-Class as well. It has S-Class inspired looks. You guys can probably tell by the headlights up front. It looks pretty darn good. Any ton of new tech as well. But ultimately in this video, we will be testing out and going over everything about this one from acceleration to braking, steering, feel, ride quality, sound system, exhaust clip, all that fun stuff. So having said all of that, what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with bracing. So essentially there are two different configurations for the 2022 C-300. First one being the rear wheel drive variant starting at $43,550. Then you got the four-matic all-wheel drive version starting at $45,550. But regardless of which configuration that you go with, the power plant is going to be the same. Powering the new C-300 will be a two-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with mild hyperdrive putting out 255 horsepower at 5,800 RPM, 295 pound-feet of torque coming in at 2,000 RPM. Power sent to rear wheels or all wheels through a nine-speed automatic with paddle shifters, which you guys know we will be testing out here in a little bit. Zero to 60 time is going to come in at approximately six seconds flat, according to Mercedes-Benz. With MPG numbers coming in at 25 in the city, 35 on the highway for the rear wheel drive, 23 city, 33 on the highway then for the all-wheel drive taking premium unleaded fuel. Consider before we do any kind of fun paddle shifter or acceleration tests here in our C-300. I wanted to mention to you guys the drive minutes that are labeled. Dynamic select, that button dynamic is located just underneath of that new infotainment screen there. When you press that you will get to choose between eco, comfort, sport and individual, adjusting things like the shift points, the throttle response, the steering sensitivity and the eco start-stop system then as well. And actually, if you were to go with the AMG line package, which by the way goes for $3,050, it includes a bunch of different things, you're actually also going to get a Sport Plus driving mode to go along with all of those standard driving modes then as well. But now I've got all of that out of the way. What do you guys say? Let's go ahead and find a straightaway. Let's put the paddle shifters and acceleration here to the test at the same time. Let's see how quickly the paddle shifters react and let's see how quickly we can get our new C-300 here up to speed. All right, we are in first gear. Three, two, one. Okay, not quite as quick as far as paddle shifters go as I'm used to in Mercedes-Benz, but they felt good, I will say that. They're definitely not the slowest paddle shifters. They're nice, they're nice, but they're not as quick as what I'm typically used to with Mercedes-Benz. Acceleration though, that was plenty fine. You were not going to have any issues of merging onto the highway. This thing definitely gets up to speed quite nice and that may be due on par because it has nearly 300 pound feet of torque. But anyways, and the EQ boost for that matter. To go along with that acceleration though, as always, braking is equally important.  In the back, 11.8-inch ventilated rear discs. As far as the braking feel goes, it's definitely on the softer side without a doubt. Wouldn't of minded if they firmed up braking feel a little bit. Typically with Mercedes-Benz, you get that, but with the C300, it is a bit softer of a braking feel. I'll just put it that way. Then touching on suspension and handling, up front you're going to get a four-link front axle. In the back, five-arm multi-link rear design front and rear stabilizer bars. But perhaps my favorite part about the suspension configuration on the new C-class is that it comes standard with an adaptive damping suspension. Essentially with that is it monitors these shock absorbers individually, not only adjusting to road imperfections, giving it a smoother ride, but it's also going to tighten up the suspension during heavy cornering, really giving you the best of both worlds. So that is a suspension feature that definitely does come standard on most vehicles out there. Luxury vehicles, yes, and a lot of sports cars as well. So definitely was a fantasy that the C-class is coming with that standard for 2022. Do want to also mention though, if you were to go with that AMG line package, that is going to add a sports suspension, AKA stiffer springs and shock absorbers. It's also going to give you a slightly lower ride height as well and a heavier steering feel to go along with all of that. But ultimately, as far as ride quality goes, it's been 100% on point. I will say Hagerstown has some very nice roads, but definitely absorbing the road imperfections quite nicely. It's been very smooth rides to far my short test drive here today. As far as steering feel goes, it's okay. It feels pretty much like I would expect the new C-class to feel, not the heaviest steering feel in the world, but it's definitely not the loosest either. It does not feel like an SUV. It feels like a sedan. So I've had no issues with the steering feel. And as far as cabin noise goes, it has been a very serene cabin. I'm getting a little bit of my climate control noise right now. If you guys are picking anything up, it's probably that, but we actually do have the acoustic package today that goes for $150. That actually adds an acoustic laminated front windshield and door glass as well, which gives you the very possible most serene cabin. That is another one of those features I always look for in all the vehicles that I review and that is going to give you the very best insulation, I guess you could say, from exterior wind and road noise. So definitely a big fan of that. And touching on visibility, I can see 100% perfectly fine out the back. New issues there. Rain-sensing windshield wipers do come standard and there is a head-up display available if you wanted to go that route as well. But that pretty much rounds out the performance segment of this review, guys. Let's now go ahead and take a look at the exterior of our brand new 2022 Mercedes-Benz C300. All right, and so here she is, you guys, the new 2022 Mercedes-Benz C300 finished in polar white. In case anybody was curious of our exterior color name and completely redesigned for the 2022 model year, of course, like I already said, but anyways, let's go ahead and start upfront on this one here. Vertical slats can be found in the front grille. That's going to be the standard configuration. Want to put it that way because if you go with that AMG line package, you're going to get that traditional diamond block front grille without the chrome perimeter that you guys are looking at right now. So a little differentiation there. LED headlights to the sides, they do come standard. They come with LED daytime running lights and the automatic feature, meaning when it starts to get dark at night, headlights are going to turn on automatically for you there. Automatic high beams also coming standard, meaning if you have your high beams on it, it senses a vehicle coming in the opposite direction. It's going to automatically dim them back to low beams. Then when that vehicle is gone, it's going to bump it back up to high beams automatically for you there. So that's always good. Did want to also mention an optional lighting package. It's going to be the adaptive digital light LED headlights. By the way, that package goes for $1,100, but essentially it's going to be slightly brighter illumination and of course that adaptive feature, meaning when you're going around a bend at night, those headlights are going to swivel based on the direction of your steering angle, better help illuminating what is around that bend. It's kind of like BMW's laser light technology if you were to compare it to something. But anyways, pretty much rounds out the front end. I do like the new look. It looks a lot like an S-Class, specifically those headlights. So very elegant design to the front, but now let's go ahead and make our way to the side of the C-Class. All right, and so now since we are around to the side of this one, chrome windows surrounds. Do you come standard? Do you have some chrome accenting found on those door handles as well? Do you like the body-colored side skirts? I think that does look good as well. Taking a look at the side mirrors, they are body-colored power adjustable side mirrors. They will be heated with LED integrated turd signals and they actually are power folding then as well, which you don't always get even on luxury vehicles. So I wanted to emphasize that. Take a look at the wheel configurations. 18-inch alloys do come standard across the board. 18-inch AMG specific alloys for the AMG line package. And there are 18 and 19-inch wheel designs available in addition to all of that to really make the car your own, I suppose. So that is gonna be there for you as well. But again, that pretty much rounds out the side. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the back. All right, so but now since we are around to the back of the C-Class, you guys will notice no shark fin antenna or no antenna whatsoever found on the roof of this one. A very clean look, I'm a huge fan of that. Just below that, there is a rear spoiler available.  So we do have that option. So it looks pretty darn good back there. And I do like the design to the tail lights and actually let me get up a little bit closer here for you guys so you guys can see that a little bit better. Tail lights are LEDs, by the way, so added illumination at night to kind of match up with the LED headlights. But definitely a very cool-looking design to these tail lights. They look like really nothing else on the road. So I'm a big fan of that. But in the middle of those tail lights though, I did want to mention, there is some LED license plate lighting. You can't really see it because it's a bright and sunny day today, but I do want to mention it, it is there. And just below it all, there are dual exhaust outlets tucked underneath. Mercedes will want to have you believe that these are integrated dual exhaust outlets finished in chrome. They are not. That is the fake look as Audi does it recently. So they're actually tucked away underneath. I don't know if you guys can see that, but not a huge fan of that would have liked it a heck of a lot better if they made those exhaust outlets functional. Or at least didn't make it look like they were actually there. But anyways, nonetheless, I do believe you guys know what we have to do next. As always here is that exhaust clip. All right, so now since we are around to the back of this C-Class, when it comes to opening that rear trunk, it is a power rear trunk. I want to start by saying that, but there is a button on the key fob. There's a button on the trunk itself, and there's a button on the driver's door then as well. But once opened up, cargo capacity comes in at 12.6 cubic feet. If that was not enough space, there is a 40-20-40 split, meaning the rear seats do fold down for quite a bit of extra space then. If you needed it, there's actually some buttons located in the trunk itself also to actually fold down those rear seats. So I thought that was pretty convenient. Domino also mentioned there's cargo lighting back there. There's some netted storage back there. There's tie down anchors, which you usually don't find in sedan. So I wanted to emphasize that. You typically find that in SUVs. So that was pretty cool seeing that back there. There's also a couple grocery bag hooks on both sides. So big fan of that as well. And if you were to lift up under that cargo floor, you will actually find some in-floor storage back there then as well. But then make your way up to the rear seats for reference, I mean, even six feet tall. This is how much space I had in those rear seats there, but quite a bit going on back here, but you will find rear ventilation. There is a rear center armrest as well. If you press that little thing at the top, it's actually going to be a cell phone holder. If you wanted to maybe watch a show back there, but there's not actually any cup holders within the center armrest. You of course do have the cup holders found on the doors, but that's where you're going to be using there. There's no cup holders on the actual armrest itself. Will also mention though, you have two phone charging ports and a 12-volt power outlet. There's no USB charging ports though, unfortunately, but of course they do have connectors. You can simply just plug in your phone charging port to a USB charging port and so on. So that is going to be there for you as well. So then make your way up to the front seats, power adjustable front seats with four-way power lumbar, do you come standard, that will come with memory settings for up to three different drivers found on the driver's side door there. Front seats will be heated and then ventilated front seats are going to be available for an additional $450. Then take a look at the steering wheel. It is tilt and telescoping. It is leather wrapped and it is heated for an additional $250 if you wanted to go that route. I do like the design to the steering wheel actually. It looks pretty darn good in my personal opinion. Then make your way to the startup. Let me start by showing you guys the key. It is a very, very heavy duty key, a very nice weight to it. You got the Mercedes-Benz logo found all the way to the top. And by the way, that doubles as your lock button. So press the Mercedes-Benz logo to lock the vehicle up, unlock just below that. And of course you got the button to pop the trunk just below the unlock button then as well. But I will say a remote start does come standard once you download the Mercedes-Me app. That's going to be how you're going to go ahead and access that remote start. There's also keyless entry with a push button start that comes standard. So in this case, all I'm going to do here is simply put my front of the brake and press that engine start button located just to the left of the infotainment screen. And so once started up, gauges will be a 12.3 inch full digital gauge cluster. Speedometers all the way to your left tachometer is on your right. And there are a few different settings that you can control by using the home button on the left side of the steering wheel there. That's going to give you your classic view. There is a sport view, which is pretty darn cool and understated as well. I think the sport view looks the coolest personally, but yeah, there's a few different options there. So you got that available to you. And that really changes the entire look, but because it's a digital gauge cluster, it has pretty much everything you could possibly want up there. You can configure it however you want. Outside temperature, digital speedometer, how many miles you have left until you hit empty and so on. So like I said, everything you want up there, then making our way to overall interior quality. A power sunroof does come standard, auto dimming rear view mirror with homeland controls for up to three different garage doors found just underneath of that rear view mirror. By the way, it's a frameless rear view mirror as well, which I'm always a big fan of. Dual zoom climate control is going to come standard. So both driver and passenger can set their own temperatures there. 64 colors of ambient lighting also coming standard. And Mercedes-Benz does ambient lighting better than everybody in my personal opinion. You got a couple of different finishes available. I wanted to mention we do have a wood finish today. It's a matte wood finish and it's texturized as well. So you can kind of feel the grooves of the wood, which I think is super cool. There are some other finishes, like a metal weave trim that you can get instead of the wood as well. So a couple of different options there. Wireless phone charger is going to be available for you and kind of just underneath the infotainment screen here, you will find a good bit of rubberized storage. You got a couple of cup holders, couple of phone charging ports and within the center armrest, decent amount of storage and you actually have a couple more phone charging ports within that as well. But overall, it's finished very nicely. I think the wood really sets it off. I think that makes this thing look so much better. I like our light color interior contrast with the dark interior accents found just above these new climate control vents. They are kind of like an oval-ish circle found just above the infotainment screen and above the glove box. They look pretty darn good. I could definitely tell they're new for 2022 as well, but overall, definitely a very upscale interior quality without a doubt. But now let's go ahead and make our way to the infotainment screen because that is new as well. It is an 11.9-inch, portrait-oriented color touchscreen display and so it is all touch screen and of course you can find Bluetooth and audio streaming. There's Android Auto, Apple CarPlay as well. Factory navigation system goes for $650 if you wanted to go that route. Kind of just your climate control settings up there and everything is very quick. I noticed when I'm swiping my finger left and right or whatever I do, everything is instantaneous, exactly like a cell phone would be and traditionally with infotainment screens on other vehicles, you have a little bit of a delay but that is certainly not the case with this new 11.9-inch screen that Mercedes has put in the new C-Class. Very quick reaction, so that is definitely a good thing. You can check out your radio information up there as well and it does appear we have a Bermester sound system with us here today. So having said that, what you guys say, let's go ahead and turn on the radio, see what we got playing today and let's test out the clarity of this one. All the way. Definitely perfectly fine. Ton of bass with that sound system, crystal clear. That was definitely where it sat and I will say another thing I thought was pretty cool. The way you turn up the volume for the radio is you just slide your finger to the left and to the right just underneath of that infotainment screen kind of like the same way you open and close curtain for the panoramic sunroof that we have here. You just slide your finger forward and back to open and close that. I forgot to mention that. So a lot of very easy gestures in order to make this vehicle function. Very techy, I guess you could say, which I'm a big fan of. Lastly, I wanna mention to you guys on the infotainment screen is when you do put the new C-Class in reverse, you will find possibly the most high definition camera I have ever seen in a vehicle letting you know what is completely all around you which is always is going to lead us into safety. So to start off first, I wanted to mention the 2022 C-Class is not yet rated by IIHS but for 2021, it was an IIHS top safety pick plus. So I would imagine the 2022 version would be the same. Front side, side curtain airbags do come standard driver's knee airbag up front as well. In the back, I wanted to mention there is rear side impact airbags available for an additional $700. If you wanted to go that route, they are available. Also in the back latch, AKA lower anchors to tether children for the rear car seats for your child door locks, tire pressure monitoring system. Also standard though, attention assist, Mercedes-Benz emergency call service and blind spot assist with exit warning assist as well. Do you want to also mention there's tons of advanced safety features available for you guys. I'm not gonna ramble it off to you but some of them include adaptive cruise control. There's Parktronic where you could set the parking spot you want the vehicle to either pull in or back into. You can set that as well. It's a crazy feature. It's gonna scare you at first but it works incredibly well. Active steering assist and root-based speed adaptation, just to name a few. And so overall, when it comes to my final thoughts here of the new C-Class, I am a big fan of the new look of this thing. I think it looks like a baby S-Class more or less which is a very good thing. It has a very elegant look I guess you could say. Very quick acceleration as well is a big fan of that. This thing gets up to speed in no time. Probably do in part because of the EQ boost and the 300 pound feet of torque. Lots of fun tech options that particularly like the little swiping features for the power sunroof and the volume buttons as well. As far as room for improvement goes, the braking feel is definitely not the best. It kind of feels like the Acura RDX when it first came out. It's kind of a dead spot when you first hit the brake and then all of a sudden it kicks in and then when it kicks in, it's a soft braking feel. So definitely wouldn't have minded if they changed up that really completely. Another thing I think Mercedes-Benz in general needs to do is put USB charging ports rather than specific phone charging ports. I think that is what most people are probably looking for including myself. But other than that, this thing is pretty darn nice. Specifically the interior details as well including like this floating ledge. I didn't even mention to you guys where you kind of control the power window buttons. It's just kind of floating here in this silver finish. I think that's such a nice design element to the interior here and the wood finishes as well.
