I thought the plastic grill felt cheap and unsupported.
Have you opened the hood up and closed it?
You can see that MB is improving in many areas of the car, the brakes for example.
I just wanted to make a comment that overall the car felt cheap and tin can like and felt that MB was cutting corners in some areas.
