burmeister is included in the premium pack.

Thank you I didn't notice that.

No heated wheel though?

A35 has dual I believe. And a45 should be quad.

ARTICO wears way better. I would choose it over leather 10x outta 10.

Well, that's good to hear since my GLC now has ARTICO + DINAMICA peasant seats.

No sure about the A but heated wheel usually means no fancy AMG wheel.

The AMG wheel used to comes with heat. I have it on my E. The A heated steering options makes no sense. It's only available in the 250 as an option but without silver paddles.

[Mitsu3000gt]

Well unless residuals are excellent, I am probably looking at an A250 anyway for how little I drive, so maybe I'll get my heated wheel after all

There's an A250e hybrid that might be coming and probably qualifies for a federal subsidy. 60km of EV range, no lag 220hp. 160hp engine, 100hp electric motor.

[colsankey]

I've been window shopping a gla forever, but if the As come out for 2020, it might finally be time. I think 60k is pushing what i want to spend on a vehicle though, which is why I've always been window shopping.

Any must have options, vs got the cash to spend on extras? The boy racer in me finds a base amg more appealing than a more optioned base car for a similair price.

[rage2]

Premium pack is a must have. Garage opener if you have a garage. If you want to flex, add the aero + night package. Everything else is a want if you have the money.

That sounds pretty sweet actually. Why does the 160HP engine + 100HP electric come to 220Hp instead of 260HP?

My goal at the end of the day is to try squeak into an A class for $500/mo (lease) but I may have to spend a little bit more, especially now that they offer the Intelligent Drive package.

[npham]

Assuming it's like the E53's, it's a combination of how the electric engine is used to fill in gaps in the power band. It's not two engines that are stacked running in unison, but rather when the gas engine is working to get up to peak power, the electric motor is 100hp, but the output of the gas motor is only 120hp. The split can be whatever, but you get the idea how it's complementary vs max HP all the time for each engine.

peak HP from both units probably not available at the same time but if you are a car salesman, the math checks out lol.

My 2017 GLA45 is for sale, if you are interested. Only 12,000km

I'll bet most budget ballers leave with just the Premium Pack and Aero + Night Package at $51.5K. I can't see many people optioning out in full to $69k, those people would be looking for a 45S.

The seats are worth it if money is no object haha. It's the leather requirement that kills the price. If I was shopping for a 35, I wouldn't be spending $4300 on those seats. Save that money for the 45.

At some point they'll drop the leather requirement, the ARTICO + DINAMICA (pleather + alcantara) AMG seats are to die for. And it's $2k cheaper! They eventually did that last gen 45's after I got 'em of course.

What are you forecasting, the 45 + burmester and the artico seats at? $70 even?
No HUD. No ricey aero. No driver assistance.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Is the 45S not going to be sold in North America because it requires 98RON fuel which is like 93 octane here and isn’t widely available?

[killramos]

My pickup truck requires 93 Octane

L86 V8 requires 91 octane and recommends 93, I’m reading that the A45S minimum requirement is 98RON overseas.

I’m hearing the same rumors, but no confirmation from MBUSA or Canada yet.

[flipstah]

MB branded octane booster hahaha
