Saw a GLA in the wild just now.

Initial reaction: NOPE. It had those fake rear bumper vents, they look awful. The whole thing looks tall and ungainly. You'd be crazy to buy this over a Q3, Macan, or x1.

I like it. It's less boring than a Q5, and less expensive than all but the BMW

Yet also a bit smaller, so there goes your price difference.

I know, but there's the Q3. I'd take it over a Q3.

we got like 10 of them in last week at work. All of the NOPEs just like the X1 and whatever boring Audi that follows the same class

It's weird looking. You can see that they took a normal A-class and put it on stilts. So it looks like an afterthought, a desperate attempt to tap into this Mini-CUV market that is so hot right now.

They will have a waiting list.

But the GLA looks like an A class on stilts. I think the A class is okay, but the translation from hatchback to SUV didn't come out the best IMO.

I saw one on Sunday, identical to the one above. Seemed interesting from the opposite side of the road, but didn't get a good look at it (obviously).
