The latest star from Mercedes-Benz has all the makings of a hit

- Anubhav Sharma

BORN AGAIN

Good leaders have some, er, good qualities. They listen, they adapt, and they act. This isn’t a lecture on leadership, but the new Mercedes-Benz GLA is something a good leader would bring to the market. That’s not to say the outgoing GLA was a mistake, but it was a little underwhelming — both as an SUV and as a Mercedes-Benz. It didn’t look the part for sure and the competition stood taller. So M-B did what good leaders do, and voila, the new GLA is here.

What is obvious is that the GLA has grown up to be much better looking. The low-slung look of the previous one is gone, and I am glad. The new GLA looks taller and larger than its predecessor, too, thanks to the higher roof and a more SUV-ish stance. The profile still gives it away as a crossover, but the beefed-up chin, squared wheel arches, and the 18-inch wheels give it more SUV street cred than earlier. The rear isn’t as interesting, but the MercSUV-family look with individual LED lights works well.

INTO THE SIMULATION

I recently got my hands on a serious sim racing setup a full F1-style wheel with force feedback, a proper pedal set, and a triplemonitor rig. After just one lap around Spa Francorchamps in Assetto Corsa, I was completely immersed.

THE MOTORCYCLE CALLED LIFE

Life seems to be a continuing onslaught of crossroads. And my mind is rather empty these days. Okay, the latter's not a greatly unusual thing, I admit. But the former is increasingly common, and I haven't yet found a way to deal with it; can't really figure out why, but it is the way it is. Perhaps it'll sink in eventually and I'll be able to tell you all about it someday. In the meanwhile, I shall resort to one of my advanced daydreaming... erm, introspective techniques — drawing parallels between life and motorcycles. Heck, to me, life is a motorcycle.
