Canada gets the cool "Street Style Edition". while the USA does not.

Yes a new snow plow for a car

W205C43PFL

There was a number 4 and the fine print was: "4:Canadian model availability to be confirmed closer to launch"

Eaton

I saw, but the US press release doesn't even mention it at all. Probably won't see it here.

W205C43PFL

I mean, I am not even sure if MB Canada is even bringing the 45 S over let alone the street style edition, because that page doesn't mention "45 S" in the summary section (Updates for CLA from Mercedes-AMG) where as MBUSA's site mentions it so it sounds like the Canadian division doesn't know what they want to do.

The CLA 45 was a low seller in Canada so that might or might not be the reason but then that cause could also be due to people waiting for the 45 S or the fact that lots of Americans and also Canadians prefer SUVs.

Maybe Canada is getting only the CLA 35 (and the 45 S is for the to be announced GLA facelift, exclusively) but hopefully not as I was actually looking forward to the CLA 45 S coming because as I mentioned previously, this vehicle is lighter than the W206 C 43, smaller and more powerful as well as having physical buttons still for many functions.

They didn't put the number "4" after the "street style edition part" of the sentence but at the end of the sentence that mentions the "45 S", so from that way we can understand it as CLA 45 S availability is subject to change closer to release, "Canadian model availability to be confirmed closer to launch". Or hopefully, maybe I just have a bad understanding and don't know how to read

Doesn't this say we're getting the new CLA45S in Canada? That's from Mercedes Canada website. And as for CLA45 sales in Canada... I don't think it's low due to low demand... I think you don't see much on the road because it's so hard to get them.

I quoted the page you linked a couple posts above, I also mentioned the fine print, if you read the posts again you will understand what I meant, that said I already mentioned that depending on how someone understands it, it could be different but hopefully like you said, it will indeed come to Canada.

Edit: I just realized your post came after my last edit on the previous post, that explains how you missed it (6:47 and my post was last edited at 6:48)

Sounds like another change is that the red interior color is the brighter Pepper Red like the GT series. That’s gonna be interesting.

Wish there was a more realistic video/picture of the hyper blue color as well. Was planning on a Magno Mt Grey color, but the idea of hyper blue is kinda cool haha

Eaton

Hyper Blue was introduced with the new SL. You can find plenty of real pictures online of that color if you want to get an idea of how it looks.

W205C43PFL

Getting some Macan Miami Blue vibes but either way, glad they brought it to the CLA 45 S, In your opinion what are some MB colours you think are very similar to hyper blue?

Meanwhile MB Mexico has had the 45S for years

Eaton

I haven't seen enough blues to know.

W205C43PFL

I guess you have to live in a blue world for that :


W205C43PFL

To be fair their regulations are pretty relaxed compared to USA and Canada (I think), plus their cars are much more expensive (I also think)?

Sockinatoaster

.
Definitely more expensive. My build but in the S version came out to around 85000

W205C43PFL

Yikes.

W205C43PFL

I guess the 45 models and the 63 models will be "S" moving forward, as I think MB discontinued the C 63 moniker and left C 63 S for the all new E performance version.

Previously, insider (I think) posted on the forum mentioned MB Germany was "concerned" about the fuel quality being substandard compared to Europe hence why they never brought the CLA 45 S over, I guess whatever "concern" they had was fixed with some sort of software or hardware patch in the car so it will run USA fuel... "just fine".

ILoveNY

since they all use 4-cylinder, are the high performance one (45s 45, 35) more prone to failure than let's say a 250 model?

Sockinatoaster

45 and 35 use different engines. However, I think the engine in the 45 might be capable of handling more power. The same M139 is in the C63 S E performance and that's putting out 671 hp, 469 hp from the internal combustion parts. I don't know if the internals are different, my understanding is the M139 already has forged internals.

iTrader: (1)

the c63 has a larger turbo than that comes on the c43 - that's one of the only things written I have comes across.

They can likely get away with that with the electric power filling in torque down low.

W205C43PFL

Can't say because the pistons and as such are different to accumulate for the higher performance.

W205C43PFL

Yes it is different, I do believe there are parts the M139 has that shares with the M177 and M178 to really hope with the performance increase/heat management and reliability.

W205C43PFL

This too.
