Anyone Considering the GLA?
My 2013 GLK350 Lease ends at the end of this year. I was looking forward to leasing another GLK, but then saw the GLA. Similarly equiped, it's $10K less than the GLA, and me living in NYC it would be a great fit. I have a Thule Roof Box that I use for road trips with the GLK, so I don't think storage space would be a problem.
I'll test drive as soon as it's in stock.

Was looking at a new suv type car for the wife. I looked into the GLA250 and actually think it fits our budget and has everything she needs.

I was looking at getting a small SUV for the wife. Was looking at GLA but looking at discounts dealers are giving on the GLK, it makes more sense to get the GLK, which is bigger and has a less complex engine (although older design).
Given GLA is likely to start in the low $30k range, and not likely and significant discounts for the foreseeable future, and seeing how MB is heavily discounting the GLK. I've known folks that got a brand new base GLK350 for $30k to $31k which is directly in the GLA price range.

Pretty insane for just a stage 1 ECU tune. Likely quicker than the GLA45.

The GLA45 will be in the $60K range while the R will be ~$45K.

I got the dealer order guide from my dealer. Keyless Go is an option for December Production, which coinsides with the AMG GLA45. If you want a GLA in September, no Keyless Go option.
