We are big fans of Mercedes here at Infinite Garage. Mercedes still builds muscle cars, expensive muscle cars, but muscle cars none the less. You get the best of all things with Mercedes, especially the AMG cars. So the CLA, which is supposed to be a smaller type car is interesting to us. The A in CLA stands for A class which is what the car is based on. The CL means a four door coupe/sporty thing and it is.
Let me first say I think it’s a looker. It looks a little funky from some angles but over all Mercedes nailed it. For now we will only get the CLA 250 here in the states. It’s going to come with FWD and a 1.8L turbo engine. Later we will get AWD, and never fear, there is an AMG model in the works. Of course that’s the one to have. Base price of the 1.8L CLA 250 will be around $30,000. So this will slot in under the C class, which used to be priced around that. Of course the inside will be adorn in all that luxury you expect from Mercedes.
