I saw a black GLA45 yesterday, the wing caught my eye and I was wondering what it was. Can’t wait to drive an RS3

AMG GLA. Because a 5 year old scooby hatch won’t impress the Nouveaux Riche at the golf club.

The RS3 has officially hit Mexican showrooms and I am unhealthily excited.

The GLA45 AMG makes a mockery of the term “crossover”, really. A 58" tall “crossover”?

Kinja'd!!!

Then again, maybe that’s what happens to my idea that hot crossovers will become a thing. They’ll actually be normal crossovers, just slammed so they’re as low as a hot hatch.
