The personal rewards of striving to be the best are even more meaningful in the development of young people than they are for automobiles. Instilling the values
of leadership, goal- setting, discipline and teamwork in youth is an investment in everyone’s future. It’s why Mercedes-Benz USA is collaborating with the Laureus
Sport for Good Foundation, with an ongoing commitment to train and place hundreds of coaches for after- school and in- school sports programs in communities
around the countr y. Sports offer kids more than the chance to be physically active and have fun. It’s also an opportunity to have a mentor who can guide them,
help them learn how to deal with major life issues, and help them grow stronger not just physically but in their character. As a Mercedes - Benz driver, you become
a part of this effort to give hundreds of thousands of kids a better life today, and all of us a brighter tomorrow.

THE 2018 GLA
In another half-hour, the faint glow in the
distance will transform the nighttime sky
into the shimmering skyline of your city.
Before long, you’ll be snaking between the
buildings, dashing through the puddles of
light cast by the street lamps, and pulling
up to your own front door. But just for now,
you’re going to let your mind keep basking
in the starlit darkness behind you.
Showing up at a massively popular music
festival without tickets may have seemed
like a great idea when you loaded up your
GLA on Friday and headed out of town. But
kudos to whichever one of you suggested
A subtle transformation
in style reasserts its spirited
and spontaneous character.
And reaffirms that a small
footprint can make a
mighty impression.
packing a few pieces of camping gear. Even
if you thought you’d be making the festival
lawn your “hotel” for the weekend, it turns
out a nearby state park has an unplugged
ambiance that’s even more entrancing.
Spontaneous decompression.
Some of your friends — like the one asleep
in your back seat right now — didn’t get why
you wanted an SUV, a Mercedes -Benz SUV
no less, instead of something more — how
did they put it — “practical.” Nothing like an
impromptu 400 -mile road trip to help them
see past the status symbol in your GLA’s
grille. Practical, you showed them, is room
for all of you, and all of your stuff. It’s the
confidence to venture into the wild without
a formal invitation, even though you’d have
fit in anywhere formal, too. It’s the rush of
a turbo and big tires on a winding road, and
of surefooted safety in a sobering moment.
It’s a roadside stop to restock your snacks
and refill the cooler, without refueling your
GLA. Finally home, you watch the liftgate
close on the now-empty trunk. The glisten
in its taillamps reminds you of the starlight.
The weekend didn’t turn out anything like
you planned. But it was practically per fect.

Performance
OVERTAKE WITH EMOTION
The twin power domes on the hood catch
the morning sun just right. You know their
significance from the scale model of a ’55
Gullwing SL that your father kept on his
desk. One lane over, there’s a tanker truck
you have no desire to follow. In the distance,
a giant arrow flashes its intention to take
away your open lane. Your hand gives the
“minus” paddle behind the steering wheel
a brief squeeze. You press your foot toward
the floor mat as the dual-clutch 7- speed
drops to 4th. The rest is seamless: a surge,
a merge, and never on the verge of drama.
As you resume your gaze ahead, you try to
decide what felt better: the swell of turbo
torque that just thrust you to the head of
the line, or the swell of pride that took you
back to the toy sports car on dad’s desk.
It’s always been about the road ahead.
As the open road unwinds in front of you,
you start to feel the heritage behind you.
With over 80,000 patents, Mercedes- Benz
engineers have quite a track record. But
they’ve also set records on real tracks for
speed and efficiency — and far off of it, for
endurance and capability. They innovated
breakthroughs like fuel injection, all-wheel
drive and independent suspension. They’ve
also re- innovated them over and over: The

its multi link rear suspension — yet another
Mercedes-Benz first — is a big reason your
GLA feels so agile on a winding road, and
so “planted” on a windy highway. History
can be fun — when you’re making it. Or, in
the case of your GLA, when you’re driving it.

And
In racing and in life,
winning is not so
much about finishing
in first place, but never
losing sight of why
you started driving
in the first place.
