  • Now that there’s a new A-Class sedan in the lineup, the CLA 4-door coupe has a little more room to stretch its legs, not having to bare the entry-level label. So, what better vehicle to lead the charge as a new entry into the world of AMG performance?!

    When everything is AMG, then the AMG moniker is no longer special.

    May seem silly to most, but I like how AMG didn’t go with their traditional quad pipes and went with just a dual exhaust style. I think it helps differentiate the car between the big brother AMGs and the slower Mercedes lineup.

      Up until 1999 the 3-series Coupe was a 2-door sedan. I don’t love the term, but it’s been in common use to describe cars for the past 15 years, and it’s not gonna go anywhere.

      As it should be. Gotta only have 2 doors to be a coupe. This thing is a sedan that has coupe slapped on it to make it seem sportier.

    Cla is done right except when the front lower ball joint breaks and the car has no steering control. Might want to investigate this issue if you are doing your job right.

    I still can’t accept a front wheel drive Mercedes... what a betrayal of their heritage. Any car that wants to be considered a performance car has to be based on rear wheel drive. Just my opinion....

    In the UK, we claim 38mpg. Yeahhhhh! Why aren't the world using your ratings which aren't, you know, made up? And with phev, do Americans claim 280mpg for an X7 (I exaggerate, but not much)?

    • @macg86
      @macg86 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Disregarding the difference in measurements, US MPG= 3.786 liters where as the British Imperial gallon is 4.456 Liters. So obviously a car will gett better miles per gallon if the gallon is significantly more fuel.

    • @povking1460

      All the measurements are made up. That's why real world numbers are usually different. There is no independent testing, manufacturers do it lol.
