GLA45 AMG. Being driven by two octagenerians (So slower than my Clubman S). I wonder who the lucky salesperson was at the Benz dealer who pulled that one off.

Still better than the CLA45 AMG sedan.

I was looking at one and the ground clearance was barely higher than my little hatchback. I thought crossovers were at least supposed to pretend they have some kind of off road ability.

What's happened is exactly what occurred with Scion and the xB toaster car.

Most people who are old want a low floor, upright seating, tallish wagon. So it's not going to appeal to people who just want the three pointed star. They will go get a CPO C-Class.

So what this means is that the olds have officially moved along from the Minis. Also helping things is that the Minis don't ride like a Cadillac.

We don't talk about that...

He probably got a bonus for selling that, and a "I'm not actually reprimanding you" for not selling an SLS to them.

I must be the only person who likes this. I also own a Lincoln MKT, so that explains a lot.

FWIW journalists have liked the GLA45 AMG

I think you're right, the one I saw was driven by an elderly couple.

By the way, ArchdukeMaxYenko seems to have found your evil and way more smug twin:

I don't know what it's from, but it's creepy. It's like you, but smug/smarminess -> eleventy.

It's not worth much. Would rather have a C63 Coupe. Or if must have 4 doors, E63.

The CLS is still the ugliest, the GLA is a looker by comparison.

I'd never buy one, but I kind of like it. Even the looks. Of course I have to ignore the fact they sell it as a crossover and tell myself it's a hatch.
