Some are kinda right about the CLA though. My none car friends all love the CLA because it ‘looks so cool and flashy’ and because it’s a Benz. I cringe every time.

So you mean just the Internet being the Internet?

If it looks like the picture, bring it on - especially that A45 version.

People are always going to bitch and moan about anything FWD - based that ’ s got a 3 pointed star or blue and white propeller on it, but that ’ s life.

Why would anyone click there unless self-torture?

I know a young woman who has a fairly base CLA, she loves it.

Yeah, but “back in the day” Jalopnik was like 50% less cancerous than the rest of the internet.

I work at a Mercedes dealer as you know and our customers/salesmen never liked the CLA due to the “type of customer” that it brought in. A lot of the first ones arriving were sub $34k, like 90% of them. They felt it cheapened the brand having Dude/Dudette A trying to get the biggest discount on a CLA in the desk next to Dude/Dudette B continuing to add more options to their S-Class AMG. Oh, this spilled over to the used car department salesmen having to deal with Dude/Dudette A with only $1500 cash in their pocket trying finance a CLA next to Dude/Dudette B paying cash for a loaded CPO GL-Class

Well I do agree with that top comment (though I wouldn’t quite word it his way), I hope BMW doesn’t change their mind about bringing a 2-series Gran Coupe that’s RWD to compete and bring the Chinese 1-series sedan instead.

An M240i Gran Coupe would be SICK.

Ah, so I guess it’s suppose to be like a Mini competitor. But it just attracts people who want a cheap MB badge?

Well, it looks like a miniature version of the 10 year old CLS that the local wannabe pimp at the Döner joint drives, so it’s cool, right?

It’s been a few years anyway. Time marches on.

50% the clientele that modern Mercedes Benzes have. Thanks to leasing every dumbass can afford a car with a three pointed star in the logo while still living at home. I do get the appeal of the first CLS though I would look like said pimps driving it.

I wonder how many salespeople pawned them off onto less experienced salespeople. Trying to dodge a lower commission. I can’t imagine the commission difference between a 33K MB vs 100K+ car.

Better him than Erdolf tbh. And to fulfill the stereotype an Adidas track suit and one of those must be worn

(Not kidding, I own a Polo cap ahahaha, just not in that color)

Yeah, if these things are going to *replace* the RWD cars, then I’m out. An M240i GC sounds awesome - - unless you try to sit in the back seat, though?

I don’t care how rich I get, I’d be that dude nickel and dimeing negotiating a $100k+ car like, “oh hell no I’m not paying that $295 dealer service fee.”

As I pointed out on the FP, comparing the A-class to a Hyundai Accent is stupid, when it’s much closer in size and performance to an Elantra GT Sport.

Makes sence I suppose. Didn’t think about that. They had to work twice as hard for CLA customers than anything else, price negotiation wise. according to them
