Erm, are we meant to be surprised by this? I mean, you drive an S65 and you're cyber-shagging LaArtist. You ought to have a Merc star shaped cockring by now.

No need to be jealous!
First: You bought a Bimmer a little too late... otherwise I would be cyber-shagging you instead of LaArtist.
Second: I had to join the dark side since Bimmer drivers on this forum are a bit too old for me... tho it's not that bad since they are experienced and you get to learn something new from them

The black ricer version with red detailing has got to be a very bad joke....

Apologies for bringing this up here, I do love the GLA45 AMG and no doubt this vehicle will be a success. It seems better proportioned and in reality will be a winner.

While I'm a big fan of Mercedes-Benz and AMG vehicles, what is up with them and the fake tailpipes on AMG models. I know other brands do it but on the E prefacelift, they pulled off the square design tips / covers which looked great. Now it's just a facade and having a single ugly ass exhaust hiding behind clearly visible. Maybe okay for the A Class but at least they could have paid more attention to detail with the rest of the line to which clients are paying a premium for.

The GLA45 looks so good! It's arguably the best looking '45' variant

Apparently, the GLA is a better AMG than the CLA
“The GLA AMG is really a hot hatch. Actually, it’s better than the CLA. And the GLA45 AMG is the best of the bunch.” - An MB USA fan of hot hatches

Cammisa says: "This little thing is so hot to look at, if it’s half as good to drive, it’ll be serious competition for the GTI and Golf R."

How does the ground clearance compare to the A45 and CLA45?

Should increase a bit. AMGs may be a bit lower than non-AMGs, though, which are compared here:

Some ESP info from MB Passion.

Characteristics of the 3-stage Electronic Stability Program ESP® in the GLA 45 AMG 4Matic

"ESP® ON": for high safety with adaptation to the sporty character

"ESP® SPORT HANDLING MODE": allows greater drift angles before engaging the system for sporty driving with more drive torque directed to the rear axle

"ESP® OFF": Switches ESP off for sporty driving on racetracks.

The intervention behavior of the ESP® cornering dynamics varies with the selected ESP® stage.

The GLA has grown on me a bit. It still looks a little odd from profile view, I would still take one in a heartbeat.
