Which color do you prefer?! Do you have even the slightest preference in either direction? Color choice is a very personal thing. You don't want to feel a twinge of regret every time you approach your car just because the majority of people preferred something a little different.

Personally, I'd stick with white over silver for the 45 if only to let the silver trim accents standout a bit. Of course, if you dislike like the accent pieces they will be hidden better by a silver exterior. Besides, there are SO many silver cars on the road. We've all seen the CLA paraded around in white and the general consensus is that the car looks awesome. I haven't seen many (if any) real pictures of the car in silver but I would imagine it looks classy and sleek in silver, too. I imagine most CLAs will be delivered in white, silver and grey and, probably, black...with white being somewhat ubiquitous given we've all seen the potential of the color. I don't particularly like white cars but even I have considered ordering a white CLA.

Either way, I don't think you can go wrong. Best of luck in your decision and, most importantly, POST PICTURES in a few months when you get it!

Good luck on your decision - hopefully you can see them side by side and maybe one will jump out at ya!

White def looks good, but it shows every bit of dirt which I hate. Eric made a pretty good point though.

 

[Sue Esponte]

Well, since I'm on a roll making good points today, white actually hides dirt better than darker colors. Dirt shows up more quickly on darker cars. It seems counterintuitive but it's true.

White is virtually maintenance free in terms of keeping clean & presentable. Even silver is a very manageable color, though to make it "pop" it does require some detailing if compelled.

100% agreed.

here is some help....

I will vote white for all the above written and photographed reasons

White and Silver are likely to be the most popular colors for the CLA series. If you're good with that, then either color is guaranteed to look good. If you want a little distance from the crowd then expand your thinking to some of the other paint options. A Mercedes in black is always a winner. I've seen a CLA in Mountain Grey and it looks very good. I'd pass on Universe Blue and Northern Lights Violet. Both blue and purple are out of fashion now.

My best tip for you is to visit your MB dealership this coming weekend for the official launch. Hopefully your dealership will have a few in stock. This is likely to be the best weekend to see the CLA in a variety of colors and features. Once these first few cars sell then it's likely to be a while before you will see more in stock.

Was purple ever really in fashion? lol

Agree with David. You must see CLA in real to be sure of your color decision. Between white and silver I would go for white. In my opinion grey suits CLA better than silver. I drove a silver CLA in june:

German car Silver

 

[NBert]

I love my decision and it was silver, Ive seen white,gray and black on the roads but somehow those colors dont show the real shapes and curves the CLA have, those colors somehow hides them. But thats only my opinion

 

[JHOOPS02]

I ordered a storm trooper CAL45. I was back and forth on it.

 

[DPN]

Silver looks decent

Test drove the silver

 

[JoeyO]

I know silver is becoming passé but I still like it. However it has to be a LIGHT silver. Fortunately the polar silver looks to be a LIGHT silver. I like when the sun is shining brightly it looks almost white. It really shines.

Some German cars are classic in silver. Imagine a classic Mercedes 300SL Roadster to old Porsche 911. Chances are the color in your head is silver.

 

[Sue Esponte]

Blah, blah, blah...it's not 1955 and the CLA is neither a 300SL nor a 356 (or 911 for that matter). And screw silver make my "classic" 911 a 993 Twin Turbo in Arena Red.
