Aww yeaaaaa.

I'd say it is a CLA 250 with some aggression added to the mix.

I am liking the AMG quad tail pipes.

Interior seems to be leather with perforated inserts. carbon fiber trim. steering wheel is alcantara and leather.

I just wonder what would be standard. I am not going to lie here.. I was willing to spend $40 for the CLA250 loaded. If the CLA 45 AMG has this interior standard as well as the exterior bits and brakes... For $50k I think I can convince the crazy woman.

I just hope many things are standard. I could care less for those rims as well. If they come with the car even better - I'll sell them to pay for the car and get other rims haha.

becauseracecar is right though. What is gas mileage going to be like.. I don't want a car that sucks up gas. That is why I am looking at a 4 cylinder MB to begin with..

Well here is a 2012 135i coupe

BMW 1M Coupe

There is still a page for the 1M Coupe
BMW 1 Series M Coupé : M design

But if you go to BMW usa there is no 1M.

I'm not even sure what BMW sells and what they don't. They change their minds all the freaking time. I gave up on BMW. They are changing names, getting rid of models, introducing new models. The **** with them.

The Audi RS3 looks like a VW Golf station wagon with a really piss-poor body kit bumper stuck on the nose. What a hideous car.

I really am not sure why everyone likes Audi. Audis have been increasing on the road as years go by. They are so boring and ugly...

Er... The CLA 45 AMG does 0-60 under 5 seconds. Not surprising when you consider the 4Matic is willing to send almost all the power to the back if it detects no traction in the front (which it shouldn't have at 300+hp through the front wheels)

All of the cars you have listed fully loaded range from 60k to 70k.

If you want to put it that way when you get up to 70k you start getting near cars like the RS4 RS5, TT RS, M3, CTS-V, Corvette, GT500, F-Type, IS-F, Elise, Evora, Exige, and yes.. Even the C63 AMG

Now lets see those full loaded 335is, ATS, and G37s go against the likes of a C63 AMG or M3.

The CLA 45 AMG is a performance model of the CLA. It was never meant to compete with the G37, ATS, 335i, etc but I am willing to bet it would still hold its ground even considering it is FWD mostly and a 4 cylinder. I am not seeing the point if your comparison.

Knowing what AMG does and what AMG can do..

I have trust that the CLA 45 AMG is going to be nuts. Just look at all the other AMG models. Just a stupid amount of torque. Great fun - not so much for the tires.
