Very nice. With all the CLA hype, I forgot Mercedes Benz still made the good old C class.

Really? The CLA is terrible.

I know it is.

That is one sharp looking sedan!  I love the color combo.  I like the C class a lot more than the CLA.  Congrats on the new wheels!

It's terrible, but young kids will buy it just because it has the big three-pointed star. They're everywhere these days.

Very true, as horrible as every road test and reliability survey is about the CLA, they are starting to multiply around here.

Is it really young kids buying it?  Some sure, but I'd guess it's many age groups just looking for a Mercedes on the cheap.
And yes, garbage.

This C300 on the other hand looks the part.   Very nice.   Congrats.

Pretty well every CLA I've seen was driven by a 20-25 year old female.

Exactly what I see as well.  Although I saw few guys driving them. 

An acquaintance (female under 30) bought a AMG CLA 43; at least it was an AMG.

Yeah I think the CLA/GLA 43s are certainly interesting....BUT not where I would spend my $55-60k.

Yeah, it's a 45. Odd that the four cylinder turbo is the 45 while the V6 turbo is 43.

$60K for a CLA.....


Thats hilarious.

[Fobroader]

$60k is BMW 340i/Merc C43/Caddy ATS territory, so the CLA is null and void.

[evil_twin]

I mean, the CLA45 is cool and would certainly be WAY more cool if we just got the proper A-Class hatch but at the $60 range I'd  rather pony up for the C43 if staying in the family but obviously much else out there in the $60K range. I mean, it's way cheaper but I think I'd rather a Golf R than a CLA45.

Agreed, I'd take the Golf R too.  The $15k cash would be a bonus!

I thought ti was CLA45?

Oops, I should have checked that.

Either way, too much money for such a little car.
Not a bad fun car for a female who wants the badge and some speed, though.

What does the size have to do with it? 

I dunno about you but I don't pay by the pound when I buy a car.

Not if you are a hatch buyer and don't want a sedan.
