Just ordered my CLA45 in Ontario, Canada...
Hey all, finally got around to it today and ordered a CLA45 from MB Oakville arriving April 2014. Great people to work with (my third MB from there). I'm sure folks are interested, Finance rate is 2.9% (0.5% loyalty break and balloon is 44% residual) and lease is 4.9% ... residual 53%. My soon to be ride is,
Mountain Grey
19" Matte Black Rims
Red-Cut interior
Performance Exhaust
Media interface
Still considering the Recaro seats....
While some may consider a CLA45 buying down, I certainly don't after seeing the car in person today. It's gorgeous and all the pics online do not do it any justice at all.
Nothing electronically funky in mine but really meant to be more a driving car. This car on youtube really inspired my choice in exterior colours.

It is a little squishy for sure. I was looking at the C63 Coupe but for the weather here and practicality (I know with an AMG?) ... I just couldn't justify the C63 at this time. Maybe in a few years if they ever come out with a 4Matic version I could wrap my head around it. I got rid of my C350 for the same reason that I felt I needed a 4Matic vehicle for myself, so I couldn't justify the C63 until I heard about this car.
Btw saw what the dealer claimed to be the first CLA45 AMG in the province/country (dubious claim?) ... it looks and sounds incredible in person. Pics don't do it justice. Especially on my crappy company standard issue BB.

Agreed. But that's also the reason why I didn't end up picking up the C63. I actually need this as a DD. The C63 just didn't make sense for me. Was also looking at the S5 but for what it is (and cost) the CLA45 is a pretty awesome car that does well in many of my key criteria vs. one or two like the C63 did.
If the C63 ever comes out with a 4Matic it would be no contest though.

Yeah I didn't want to wait. I'm impatient that way. I think next C63 is a 4L v8 twin-turbo? Also I feel that unless the M3 goes AWD or some form of it, the C63 won't.
