    The German automaker has filed trademark applications for A 40, CLA 40, SLC 40, SLC 50 and GLE 50 in Canada, and has also filed to reserve CLA 50 in Germany and globally with the World Intellectual Property Organization.
    Looks like we are getting A and CLA in Canada?

    Also number changes again: 40/50/53/73

    I assume all 250 is now 40. 53 is the recently announced inline 6. So will 43 becomes 50? 63 becomes 73? Then WTH is a CLA53?

    Regardless of the naming scheme, there’s going to be 3 flavors of cars. Base (currently 250) with around 200hp, mid range AMG (new) with about 300hp, and top range AMG (currently 45) with around 400hp. The new mid range AMG is there to compete with the Golf R and Audi S, while top line will continue to compete with Audi RS.

    Initially, the top AMG will not feature hybrid. It will down the road, and depending on the level of hp bump, might get a new name.

    Based on the naming scheme the mid range probably going to be a 40. Not sure about the SLC, doesn’t share a drivetrain at all with the MFA cars. Neither does the GLE. There’s nothing new coming down the pipe except for the 53 in terms of drivetrain for the RWD based cars, so the 40 and 50 for them makes no sense.

    I'm so impressed with this GLA45, I'm considering putting my name down/deposit on whatever the GLA45 successor on the new platform is. It's going to be a winner.

    Wait for the hybrid one. No turbo lag. Low end torque like a V8. That's going to be awesome in such a small package (althought MFA2 is growing a little in size).
