According to your signature, you are driving a CLA45 AMG. It does not have the "classic grill, hood star, etc." that you apparently like so much. Yet, you harshly criticize the Sport versions of the new W205 and W212/213 with the three-pointed star in the grill - exactly what your CLA45 AMG has !!!
Then, you mentioned that you wouldn't spend money on an E built on the C Class platform - presumably this was a reference to the new W213. Well, your Hungarian produced CLA is built on a B Class FWD platform !
Sharing of platforms between different models has become very common with most manufacturers, e.g. VW Golf/Euro Passat, BMW 3/4 Series, MB B Class/CLA, C Class & E Class, etc.

Obviously, from your point of view, 
its performance well exceeds its appearance !!!

Besides, this being a derivative of a FWD car - which it is in cruising down the highway - I don't see it as a real Benz but it rides nice.
I took a trip across island with 4 in the car over twisty hilly roads. The Nav said 2.25 hour ETA. I made it in 1.4 hr. so it is enjoyable to drive and everyone was comfortable.
Now C63 AMG is a totally different kettle of fish!!

I'll be honest, I don't think the interior, in the front that is, is as nice as the C class'. Still, it's a gorgeous car and I can't wait to start seeing them on the road.

Great vid. I pulled the trigger on the S class with no regrets thus far. Loving it.
