Switching to a GLA45 AMG
So with the upcoming release on the GLA45 AMG, I think I will switch to that...It's just has a bit more room in the rear and I can take my dog with me 
I can also use on an occasional track day (I asked trackdaze). My main track car will remain the Lotus Exige
My order will be the new brown color lol (being called orient brown for now)... with night package.. AMG drivers package (with 20" black wheels vs 19 on the cla45) amg steering wheel and seats, amg exhaust, P1 and multimedia, pano roof. They will offer an aero package with front canards and the roof spoiler like the A45 amg (I will pass on that option haha)... other than the brown they will have matte mountain grey vs matte silver like the cla45.
Im on the fence on parking sensors and blind spot assist... nice to have on a wagon, but I also think it may be overkill

CL63 AMG
I too am considering the same thing, or just waiting until next year and upgrading to biturbo ML63 for roughly same price as CLA45 with options. ML63 has keyless to standard, CLA45 does not even have that as an option

I thought about a used ml63 also.. I like awd.. but the gla45 will be able to go on track and handle better and I travel far so the 30hwy mpg will be nice. I also prefer a dct vs mct

order guide is at dealers now... should be able to start taking orders now, but can't config in netstar yet. Maybe in a month or two? I think mid to late summer. I saw a GLA220 in Germany...I liked it a lot..much bigger than a A Class which the hatch is way smaller than even a Gti/golf

Boxster
Why not a Porsche Macan? It probably handles pretty well considering you know how Porsche engineered cars, coming form a past Boxster Spyder owner.
From your list of car I haven't experience the Supra TT. Is that worth getting as a toy? I always wanted one when I could not afford and now I can, it just seem like a rip off for what they want to sell them at.

Porsche Macan fully loaded will run you well over 100k+, Macan Turbo starts at 80K in Canada. Its not exactly a budget porsche, The GLA will run closer to 80K fully loaded, thats a midd level Honda civic price difference lol.
