Looks good other than the rear that looks like the Kia Forte hatch.

Not really my thing personally as I’ve never been a hatchback fan but glad Canada is getting more of these kinds of vehicles.
Looks mint. Love that screen.

Estimated price for the the A45 AMG? ~$80,000?
You think the A series is going to cost as much as a Base C63?Quote:

I will not be surprised if you can option it up to $80k (you can option the GLA to that now today).
Exactly. Definitely can see this being $80k, but sweet spot would be under $70k OTD.Quote:

With all of the standard features I feel like it would be easy to not get carried away optioning one of these out. Maybe not though.Quote:

I think the Civic LX Sedan CVT I was looking at will be my new Civic. lol
The options are particularly tricky on these things. There would be very few base GLA45s out there. Mine came out to I thin $72K MSRP, and that included probably 4-5K in options I would have chosen not to buy if I was custom ordering.Quote:

Unless that's the A45 with Hybrid system - the mid range AMG. And the hotter 400HP one will bring it into $70s/$80s.

A45 cant come soon enough....
I'm still going to take the GLA45 version...ha
What's with all the front overhang? It's going to be too much money for what you ultimately get.

^ everything except the cheap buttons is fixed by putting AMG on the trunk.
And honestly, isn’t the hardware all out of universally praised E class anyways? So how cheap can the buttons be?
I’m actually pretty interested in one, except that it’s a bad complement to my C class and would be more of a replacement as a DD than anything.
No, the buttons on the new A are unique as part of the MBUX package. It'll eventually make its way up to all the other classes though up to the S when it gets MBUX.Quote:

Totally different league, everything in the Lexus just feels expensive to the touch.

Probably costs 10x as much to manufacturer, but looks the same in photos. Only notice it when using it, but really, doesn't bother me at all.
