I'm interested to find out what everyone else on the site is driving around right now. I currently have a '13 GTR and an 08 Cayenne Turbo. I haven't yet decided for sure on the CLA but I'm definitely keeping my options open.

Here are some pictures....

What is everyone else driving?

Gotta love that GTR. I hope your not considering getting rid of it for the CLA. As much as I like the CLA, that GTR is sweet.

I have 2003 C-240 with 225,000km. I took some pics, but I'll have to find them.

It's at the point where I need to upgrade. My 03 has a tape deck, that's how out of date it is, luckily I have the 6cd changer option in the glovebox. I've been looking at upgrading my ride and was leaning towards the BMW 1-series, the BMW X1 or Audi A3. The only reason is that I wanted to go a little smaller than my current C and Mercedes doesn't have anything smaller other than the van-like B-Class.

Thank GOD Mercedes is releasing the CLA, just in time for my upgrade.

Not planning on trading the GTR for the CLA

My girlfriend has a Golf TDI and I'm thinking we might trade that in on the CLA when the time comes

I'm currently cruising a 2013 Ford Focus ST. It's been a great car, fun to drive, decent amount of power. I'll be keeping this car but wouldn't mind adding a CLA to the stable

The family car, a 2008 Audi A4 Avant 1.8 TFSI S-Line FWD in misanored (chipped up to 196 BHP), which will most probably be replaced by the CLA 250, 220 CDI, or 45AMG by autuum 2013.

And here is "Daddys-fun-car": A 2009 BMW Z4 sdrive 30i, which of course will not be sold in the near future due to the lovely sixpack.

Nice wheels. If your in North America, then you probably won't see a cdi and the AMG probably won't arrive here until spring of 2014. Hopefully, these the cdi will be brought to NA and the AMG comes this fall, but I'm not holding my breath.

I am from good old europe.
I am waiting for the AWD, expected somewhen around autuum.
Gas Prices are more of a concern here in Europe. (1 Liter is actually 1,35, and we are not talking in Dollars here...)

Hello and welcome to our CLA Class forum. It's always nice to have some variety in the forum and it's great that you've joined a North American forum. I think it'll be interesting to get a European insight and perspective on the CLA before and after it comes out. Make sure you post any and all information that you can find about your version of the CLA.

I wish we could get the CDI version here. I don't know why Mercedes thinks it won't sell, after all, they have CDI for most of the classes they sell here except the B and C class.
