Mercedes actually pioneered auto safety. They were among the first to equip their cars with seat-belts, airbags, anti-lock brakes and a host of other shit.

Their cars have always been at the forefront of safety technology.

You can get the CLA45 AMG though. It's essentially the same car, and they're reportedly developing a "Shooting Brake" version (read: station wagon version) so maybe that one will come here.

Don't do this. Whether it's warranted or not, everyone will think of you as a poser.

I know the A-series isn't in the U.S., however starting with the CLA, they're bringing several other A-series to the U.S. to compete with the new Audi A3 series and BMW 2-series in the compact luxury market.

But I'm a hot-hatch kind of person and motherfucker, I want that A45 AMG.

There are some things I don't like about the A/CLA though.

Personally I think the headlights are too big, and the rims are too small. The car looks massive up front then tiny from the side and back.

Also the nav screen literally looks like a tacked-on aftermarket unit.

>>34749827
They're 18" rims standard with 19" as an option on a compact vehicle. How fucking large do you think the rims should be?

Ugh. I really hate what they did to the front-end of the new one. The headlights just lack a sense of class, and the grille makes the entire thing look like one of those Chinese clone cars.

They should be large enough to not make the car look like the hunchback of Notre Dame.

I think it's just the lights though. They're not proportional. One headlight looks almost as big as one wheel. The headlights should have been shrunken to maybe fix it because as it is now it just looks unbalanced.

The CLA's big brother is still awesome though.
