What do you guys think of this car?
I am thinking about it to replace my E class Cab since its such a small car.
Seems like it's going to be fun to drive around the city!

The Best of Mercedes & AMG
Still hoping Audi comes out with the RS3 here with the turbo 5. Since I doubt the wagon version will make it here either, I think the renderings of the RS3 sedan look better than the CLA45.
Only time will tell.

Sorry, no.
It looks cheap, small, and undistinguihable from lots of other small cars on the market. In my useless opinion, it cheapens the brand. Welcome to the Mercedes Taurus/Sentra/Optima, etc. There's a couple pictures in my phone. Surely lots of others have posted it already.
Go ahead, flame away. I think you will feel the same when you see it.
My eyes have been wandering on websites for a while but I haven't come across anything exciting. I know there are great sedans out there but they've all fallen short to me.
I recently test drove the 335xi and S4. I was most disappointed with 335xi. It has an awesome engine but the car otherwise fell flat to me. I actually liked the S4 quite a bit by comparison to the Bimmer but it pailed in comparison to its predecessor, the B7 V8, which I drove a number of years ago. Unfortunately, the M3 isn't available with AWD and the C63 has neither AWD or a stick. The CTS-V doesn't have AWD and I don't have any gold chains. Acuras are...well...fugly and cold. Every Infiniti I've ever driven (including my parents' old FX) sounds like Chewbacca at full throttle and their styling does nothing for me. The Lexus IS-F also lacks AWD, a stick...and a soul.
The CLA45 is really the first car to get me seriously thinking about a new car. I'm not ready to put down a deposit but I will definitely be calling my local Mercedes dealer very soon. I look forward to seeing whatever you guys can find about the car (e.g., options lists, color charts, etc.).

P.S. I see the criticisms about its styling but I think that's what's so great about this car -- it's just different. It eschews the norm and almost looks like a caricature of an AMG car. I love it.
