Mercedes CLA 250 - What do you think of it?
I've never been a fan of Mercedes cars (except for the unobtanium Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren), but for roughly $30 grand, this one looks like it will be a sales winner for Merc. The major downside that I see is the horsepower being only 208 from a 2.0 liter turbo 4. A 2.0 liter Subaru WRX (with a spark plug disconnected) gets better output than that. To get into some "real" horsepower (355) you have to move up to the AMG variant for $47 grand or so. Seems like they could have done better, considering the engineering talent that they have on tap.
I do like the looks of this "coupe" sedan - but what do you folks think of it?
P.S. I just saw a rendering of the "Shooting Brake" AMG wagon concept. That one makes me drool."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith
