I like the GLA45 AMG.

And you should too.

It’s the most bonkers, crazy looking, crazy sounding hot hatch ever made. And don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise.

(and yes, it’s a hot hatch, none of this CUV BS, it’s an A-Class on stilts, lowered, so it’s an A-Class)

It’s like about the same ground clearance as a C Class I’m pretty sure.

I think the only thing holding a lot of people back from it is the price because other than that, it’s perfect

I’ve started seeing a bunch of GLA250s running around. They’re ungainly-looking because they’re clearly a hatchback that’s been jacked up off the ground and given black wheel arches to make it look like it’s even higher off the ground.

I haven’t seen a GLA45 AMG in person yet, but I’d imagine the lowered ride height combined with lower-hanging body kit improves things a bunch. If only it didn’t still have the silly black wheel arches.

The Juke-R begs to differ.

Sadly not a full on production car, I wish it was though.

I do however really like the GLA45 AMG. Sadly, I left the Mercedes dealership I used to work for before they came out, so I never have been able to see/drive one in person. But if it’s anything like the CLA45 AMG, which I have driven, then it’s gotta be pretty awesome.

Depends on you definition of production, lol. They did produce them and they were available to the public, just in extremely limited numbers and cost waaaaay more than most people would ever pay for a Juke, or a whole fleet of Jukes for that matter.

My neighbour has one. Sounds ok when you’re on the throttle, but at idle it sounds like any other ordinary 4-banger. Looks ridiculous, but beauty is in the blah blah blah...

What is awful about these is that the non-AMG version exists.

I’d take this over the GLA. Isn’t there supposed to be a new Juke R coming out?

It has neither been confirmed nor denied. Nissan debuted a Juke-R 2.o right before Goodwood, but it was just a one-off. They have yet to announce if they’re going to put the newer version in to production like they did with the first one.

Damn, how did I miss the announcement?! Huzzah!

Now, I’ll never be able to afford one and will more than likely never get a chance to drive one, but still. That thing is awesome and people who can need to buy it! (and the possibly let me test drive it?)

It looks like an old lady backed it into a car parts store and all that stuff just stuck to it.
