And im frieking disappointed in a couple of things. First in Mercedes for not letting people in the cars. That bs! They are not bently! Got into many new high end cars, all the bmw, audi's, caddy etc. and that a7 btw is awesome!!! Could not get into one car!!
Next onto the CLA....i have to say and everyones different that it did not meet my expectations...there I said it!! I have been high on this car since the concept was shown in beijing last year. It reminded me of a Kia, felt cheap and plasticy, and the c300's that were on the floor seemed much better built. For whatever reason it did not feel like a benz, and both my buddies agreed.....btw...I said nothing to my buddies about the car when i was looking at it...and as we left benz my buddy looked at me, and said tell me your not buying that car! Thats when it hit me, and I said nope ;( honestly I damn near cried.....
chrome trim looked like something stuck on from pep boys, and the piece on the rear door is razor sharp.... The black plastic on the nose......again cheaply put together.....before i go on...im VERY familiar with the benz brand, i drive one now and love it....have been loyal and happy with benxMoving on....Do not like the carbon fiber trim piece below the doors on the AMG, looked stuck on and the only AMG ive ever looked at and went wtf are you kidding me!! One the cla this is the color of the car and i did not like it either...on both the AMG and the cla it just looks like an afterthought.....ok good stuf.... Stand back 10 feet and the car is HOT, smoking hot...Really looks sharp, love the lines and nose a lot. I actually like the rear a lot too. Car was getting a lot of attention, and so will you when u drive it this fall!! I like the nav placement and seats too, although there were many wrinkles in the rear seat center section...weird not sure why, but chaulk it up to a pre production model...
In my situation.....and this is my prediction.....the way i need the car would come in about 38k, and its fwd...a few months later the 4matic and then the AMG roll out...what happens to the value of my 38k fwd? Thats right plummets...and fast......ya ya I know all new cars are like that....but I feel like its gonna be a sharp drop.....esp having to pay msrp out the door....imho buy it stock or wait for the AMG..
.Lastly.....what I think really doesnt matter to anyone exp me, but just wanted to share......prob the first negitive nancy here, but calling it like I see it.... Ill be getting my $1000 deposit back, and move onto something else.... And I do have my $500 discount
I will keep my eye on the CLA, and drive one when they hit the dealers this fall.....understand like any new model there will be tweaks and improvements made and I really hope they do very well. Cheers!!!
