63 or GTFO
Just drove past a cla45 last night on the freeway, the driver looked ashamed to be driving a little turd can like that. i proceeded to downshift bark into his cracked window and WOOOOOOMP off.
In my rear view mirror I could see the shameful tears rolling down the cla45 driver's face, filled with regret..

So I actually have a C63 and a GLA45. I agree that the CLA45 is a completely different car than the C63 however it is also a sedan so if you owned both they would be redundant. Hence I picked up a GLA45 as a daily driver and winter alternative to the C63. Both the GLA45 and CLA45 hold about the same but the GLA45 is absolutely a hoot especially if you get it with the front LSD and adjustable suspension. I actually put some OZ Racing rims on the car with some Pirelli winter tires which greatly improved the winter performance and looks. The car reminds me of the hold Group B rally cars...
So if you are looking for something that is close to the C63, I think you are going to be disappointed with the CLA45. If you are looking for something that is different than the C63 experience but a tremendous amount of fun for what it is, I would say try a loaded GLA45...

It seems that the A45 got a power upgrade to 420 PS, meaning probably 415HP. But that is not sold in the US.
So I wonder what the next move by Mercedes is: upgrade all the 45 to 415 HP in the S trim and make it available in the US? Maybe this is what happens for the 2021 models.
