Saw one in black a week or two ago.

It's not unique, in terms of look.

It's average, but the price point is good.

Hopefully, the AMG brings better styling cues than the regular CLA.

lol $60k USD for the AMG (as tested in the video) :lol

I thought it was alright the first time i saw it but its looking uglier and uglier to me over time

Mercedes is planning a shooting brake/wagon version of the CLS but it will not be sold in North America. What a load of crap. Not everyone wants to drive a SUV in North America.

ill post some pics later today from training... 45amg should look nice...

Ya but the lack of wagons in North America is ridiculous.

I think the looks are highly dependent on the colour & wheel combination.
Saw one in silver with the black multispoke AMG rims and it looks fugly, saw one in white with the 5-twin spoke AMG rims and it looked pretty good.
Wish they brought the hatch over though, saw that in HK and it looked damn good.

as promised, pictures of the CLA 45AMG, this is a production model, some things are missing.

also found out a huge list of options, night package, amg optional exhaust, ADP package which removed the limiter up to 270km/h, cf package, and special combinations can get you the ability to get custom special order recaro amg seats. no, up up down down left right left right b a start will not get you the special package.

yeah, i was suprised hearing 26psi. the downpipe measures 3in. there is so much heat shielding in that engine bay from factory.

I wish my 2.0T was the beefy :okay:

The rear styling reminds me of a Hyundai :ahwow:

Geoc 10-09-2013 08:31 AM

German engineering + high boost, makes more worry about the reliability....

xpl0sive 10-09-2013 10:21 AM

fully loaded, that car pushes $70k... I think it'd rather have an S4

The moment I saw that you could have 23K worth of options on a 50K car... and then I remember how I managed to get a 130K Cayman S from Online Porsche Configurator.

hahaha... I wonder if MB sales will give you crap is you just went in and wanting the 49K base AMG..

!SG 10-09-2013 06:07 PM

you will probably get it faster. custom options = longer wait time. its customer for a reason.
