I don't like the pickup truck sized headlights and "I just crashed into a wall" front end combined with the swoopy rear end. I like the GLA better :iono:

Would GLA45 AMG. With the ricer wing and all, it's such a retarded car that it's incredible.

BTW, hi Chops :jizz:

The GLA AMG looks 5/7 for sure.

Max, go with a CPO CLA45 AMG.

Good price on used ones. This one is CPO with 30k farts and only $39k list. I bet you could get it for $35k.

It looks ridiculous.

Too bad this one doesn't have the rice wing and the rice black with polished lip :ramz: but yeah... ridiculous. I love it because of it but..... The real problem with the GLA45 is EPIC depreciation. There are like 4 people in the US that want this thing. And this one I posted is listed at 40k, CPO with 29k miles. It was over 60 grand new! It's 2 years old! $10k/yr depreciation is :mindblown:

I mean it's not horrible.... it just... IDK. Those headlights are as big as the wheels are lol. I like the ramz and the overall look but if you're going to go nuts... you better go fully nuts. Not restrain it somehow. The GLA goes fully nuts.

Gla AMG is perfect ... but way too much money. It'll be worthless in 12 months I'll look around

Nice! I rented a 2013 Benzo C class and thought the navi and radio screen was horrific. Glad to hear they're better!

You can find a GLA45 AMG BBQ 4MATIC AWD for like 40g CPo around here. But yes it will lose half that in 2 years because nobody wants a Benzo poverty hatch with an ass shattering suspension.

CLA45 are even cheaper CPO. Bet you could :crang: one for 35g.

Really doe the performance of the 250 is probably good enough for even an enthusiast. 0-60 in about 6 flat. Plenty quick.
