Mazda might have been the first to pioneer this technology but the GLC was 
still a POS.  I had the unfortunate pleasure of having an 1980 GLC in the 
family.  Bad handling, no performance, shifter didn't feel like anything 
special, and if it would have, it would have been a waste on a car like 
that.
Just my two cents.
