S550
Well....that didn't take long.

I saw a few CLAs in NYC just before Halloween....they were easily recognizable.

Today, however? Just saw my first "CLA250 ///AMG".....in Delaware. They're practically slapping these badges on the second it leaves the factory! Very attractive otherwise, bright white, pano roof. I was in my S550 and I thought about getting a little race in, but we alll know how them AMGs would hit 60 in 4.5sec, now what chance would I have had

Funny, most people who would recognize what it means to be an AMG are also the same ones who would know when it didn't belong there!

I know what you mean but I'm waiting to get a good hard look and a long test drive in a real 45 AMG. Some tests we're seeing online show that that engine in an A45 AMG beat out a CLS550 Shooting Brake with the same M278 engine that is in both our cars. That 45 AMG would give us a real run for our money I think.
