CLA 45:

I like the camo, but its time to just show the damn car. Even though the styling will be off, I'm still curious about it. The hulking front end is just wrong as are the side details.

I'd rather the non-AMG model. I have a feeling that the AMG will be overkill. Either way if the quality is where it needs to be, Benz should have a problem selling plenty of these in the US.

On the contrary. I expect it to be a big seller in the U.S.

I don't know if it's the camo trickery or if this FWD/AWD car truly has less front overhang than the RWD SL!

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

Geez Betty. Judging by the context of what HOH was saying, it's obvious that's what he said. Myyyy gooooood.


P.s That was tongue in cheek. A stupid overreaction to a small mistake on a car forum. ;-)

From this angle something tells me that Merc is testing the four-wheel drive version. Just a hunch.

Doubt it.
I expect some kind of fast version of this car, looking at the sporty flame-like stickers.

The fact that is says 4Matic all over isn't what gives you that hunch?

That's just Mercedes' way of distracting us from what's really important.
I think the way the wheels are positioned reveals the fact that it's a 4Matic.

martin, it seems next time you should start sentence with "sarcasm" :

 

[PHYBENZ]

The only part of the design on this car that I am not sure of is the area above the rear wheel well. There is a lot of sheet metal there and it makes the rear look very heavy and the wheels VERY small.

 

[merc4]

there seems to be a new front bumper on this picture

that is quite different from what we have seen on the A class, standard or AMG. It resembles most the pre facelift C63 and has integrated fog lights as well. It will probably be the standard version, because for the A45 AMG it does not seem much dramatic.

Glad at least someone got it. Thanks Leech.

 

[rollo]

This thing looks absolutely horrible!

Now let's hope nobody took my posts seriously..

 

[Human]

Vouching for the Germans! And as much as I would like to see this car succeed in it's execution, there is unfortunately something Korean about it....

MB Passion explains tailor-made 4MATIC.

Is Merc planning on entering NASCAR? looks like a Dodge
