GLA45 AMG
Saw one in person yesterday at the dealer. It's worse then you can imagine! I have no idea what MB was thinking of when the decided to produce it. 365 hp looks like a pregnant tennis shoe and no amount of lowering will make it look any better. What bothers me more is the AMG sticker on the back.

I saw one in person at my MB dealership. I think it looks great. It was white with the black 22s on it. Very nice. I think the color & wheels go a long way with this car.

It looks like this post has really picked up since we first spotted the GLE63.

P.S. We used to live in Playa Vista...definitely miss that place. Has the movie theatre opened up?

The movie theatre is open. It opened during the summer and it was amazing, no one was there, so you could get your pickings of any seat for any movie.

Now that school is in session, the theater is starting to get a bit more full, but it's still great that it's walking distance and has decent parking.

The restaurants are slowly starting to open as well...
