[AMG]

Mercedes-Benz already has a good number of Black Series models listed below and they're definitely not stopping with what they already have. The next Black Series Mercedes could very well be the CLA 45 AMG. I expect to hear more about it at or after the 2013 New York Auto Show!

Mercedes-Benz Black Series models:

• SLK 55 AMG Black Series
• CLK 63 AMG Black Series
• SL 65 AMG Black Series
• C 63 AMG Black Series
• SLS AMG Black Series

I feel in order to capitalize it will be shown first in AMG version followed maybe 1-3 years as a BS depending on sales.

I was thinking about that. If they release the CLA45 AMG Black Series too soon it can "steal" CLA45 AMG sales since the black series is considered a step up from the regular AMG model, and we know they definitely don't want that to happen.

Yep they need to have enough interests to go the BS route so so many units need to be sold to even make one or if they make one based on European interest base on their version of the CLA. They may make it for Europe only if not enough US interest
