Anyway back on topic...
Both CLA45 and C63 are appealing cars to different people. Yes the CLA45 is the entry level AMG, but that dosent mean it is bad or slow. You guys need to remember that is it the most powerful 2.0l 4cyl engine ever produced in a car with 177hp/L. This right here is enough to keep the AMG name in high regard for performance.
Another thing I wanted to say is that the 6.2L engine is fantastic for people that live at sea level, but once you hit some altitude, turbo is where its at.

The reason why I disagree is because I dislike the new direction MB is taking. There is nothing "raw" about a turbocharged, all-wheel drive car, full of nannies to help you keep it straight.
You would also have to agree that all the new MBs look quite feminine with their round bumpers and "bee" headlights. (S-Class apart)
I will gladly buy a RWD BMW with a quieter exhaust note than a new MB that looks like it belongs to Barbie and Ken. After all, you can easily replace an exhaust ;-)
Until recently, I had a CL63. It was the best car I have ever had. True it was big. Some people called it a boat, but for me it was just awesome. All the crazy things I did with it... It still handles better than 90% out of the cars out there and with ESP Off it was just a blast.
That's just me though... each is entitled to his own opinion. I don't think I will be owning a new MB anytime soon. Brand loyalty has its limits. Time to expand my options and look at what other brands have to offer
Oh, and Merry Christmas!

Saw Fifth Gear review of A45 by Tiff.
He stated the AWD system is front wheel biased, which means it transmits more power to the front wheels.
Apparently this makes the car handle like a front wheel drive car...significant understeer.
Is the tranny in the CLA45 the same as the A45?

If the car is for your boyfriend then stop being a cheap a$$ flop and don't worry about resale.. Maybe make a thread on how much they'd give you on a trade to exchange your hyundai for a c63 lol.
