I am surprised no one talked about this car. especially the AMG model. It is priced sub 50k which is Evolution STI price range.

CLA 45 AMG is a 4 cylinder and 355hp 332ft/lb of torque. I cant wait to see the reviews of this car against STIs and evos...

Any ETA on the 'A' and "CLA' class?

[sexyaccord]

end of sept/beg of oct according to dealer

[godwin]

Always tempted to buy some "i"s from local rice shops and add stick it after CLA.. especially those in Richmond.

[Marshall Placid]

The performance is very good, 0-100km/h in 4.6 seconds.

Price is going to be mid $50s, which is priced right, $10,000 less than the C63.

Can't wait to see one in person.

sadly pictures with BC Plates are now looking more and more "foreign" to me :(:(

CLA will arrive some time this month or early next month.

CLA 45 AMG should be interesting...

[Timpo]

they should make a hybrid version of this

[Marshall Placid]

I thought I saw one at the Richmond, Granville/No. 3 Road Petro Canada gas station.

The front LED daytime running lights looked like the CLA + the diminutive size.

The front LEDs look similar to the ones used in the current Audi A3, but with more curves to it (i.e. the CLA LEDs were more feminine).

I can't get over how the trunk swoops downwards like a godzilla stepped onto its trunk. The A class hatchback looks a lot more coherent.

And I guess it's not available in Canada.

[Ikkaku]

Hmm... Roof spoiler and trunk lip spoiler :considered:

[J____]

man the canadian front bumper looks like shit =(

[hk20000]

You guessed correctly. :okay: A class and CLA class shares the platform but CLA is what the marketing department thinks we like better.

Much like how our BMW 1 series is coupe only but you can get hatchbacks in Europe.

the A class and 1 series hatch are everywhere in Europe. and both look pretty good, esp the A-Class. would get diesel for daily.

Mercedes CLS63 AMG Catless Downpipes Exhaust Sound - YouTube

The generation of V8s found in the c63 sound soooooo good. That exhaust flutter and deep rumble, jizz in pants.

The turbo V8s sound good, but I still prefer the previous non-turbo V8s.

[Gabagoo]

Spotted the black CLA on the road as well - looks much better when you see it in person.

I wonder how the introduction of the CLA will impact the numbers of the newer C-classes on the road

[xxxrsxxx]

Does anyone own or test drove this car? Wondering what your thoughts are on it as I'm contemplating this and a BMW 3 series

[!SG]

go test drive one and compare.

you cant compare it to the 3 series

3 series competitor is the c class.

cla, would be the 1 or 2 series. also cla is front wheel drive. 2015 they should be introing the 4matic.

as for how it drives, car feels pretty solid for a small car, turbo charged cars + fwd = feel and understand what torque steer is.
