Hi I am new to this site, I have reserved my CLA 250 "launch edition" which is due to arrive today or tomorrow and I wanted to know if anyone has seen this car yet? I have read about the options that come with it but not quite sure other than the unique leather seats what will be special about this one. Thoughts and or comments?

Thanks!

ah interesting. good thing I didn't get an A4.

I think the biggest reason behind it though is that the A4's use basic VW security systems...

Could always leave it outside in a bad area kowyzg0moo, and see if someone takes it.. get the insurance, and get your new CLA!

Evil.. I know.

you know, that sounds terrible. but i've sometimes had dreams where I got into a terrible accident, got paid out and they gave me a CLA 45 AMG.

it happened twice now haha i guess that Superbowl ad really got into my head.

You just have to make sure you park like a BMW driver, that's how you trigger the attacks

No more pics. All the windows are opened so I couldn't tell but I'm pretty sure the back window is not tinted.

I asked my dealer about it. If you look closely, all the windows (except the front) are slightly tinted compared to normal. You can tell this easily by standing at a 45 degree angle from the front of the car to the mirror. The side windows show a slight tint. I'm probably going to still add blacked out tint to the back windows though.

The exclusive CLA Launch Edition will only be available during the car's first twelve months on the market. The limited-edition model stands out thanks to Mountain Grey metallic paint and black 18-inch alloy wheels, while the interior is upholstered in black with bright yellow stitching. A sunroof, navigation and the aforementioned harman/kardon surround-sound system come standard.

Did you get the CLA @rojeliosgirl, would love to see pictures.

I know right, we have a good amount of edition one CLA owners on here, much more than i also expected. just imagine how many more will join later on.
