Jason BrownFeb 06, 2013 And warmer climates. Anyway, it's a worth while read...
Jason BrownFeb 06, 2013 Cold temperature makes a huge factor, an additional 10-15% reduction in fuel. Ford has a problem with misunderstanding the test requirements as well and their hybrids resulted in 10-12 mpg lower than they claimed. But that was using better fuel
Max CookFeb 06, 2013 @jason some race cars run off 100% ethanol. I just don't what electric engines they are no fun but I do like a big v8
Jason BrownFeb 06, 2013 So foreign car companies CAN miscalculate based in the flaws of the test requirements from the EPA just based on the difference of regional fuels. Fuel from Korea for example can give as good as 6 mpg average higher than northern US states where the
Jason BrownFeb 06, 2013 @Max, there is a great article on the Economist a couple of days ago titled: fuel economy, difference engine... This points out how mpg is calculated with petrol and ethanol added petrol. US gas uses 10% ethanol, causing reduced mpg fuel economy.
Jason BrownFeb 06, 2013 as full option normal CLA? So as I mentioned, I wouldn't be doubt they pricing it at 50-60k range.
Jason BrownFeb 06, 2013 BMW 3 series and Benz C class are both entry lvl cars. Starts around mid 30k. Add all the options and it quickly GPS up to 45-50k. The CLA starts at around 30k so with all options most likely mid 40k. Why would they offer AMG version for similar
Tim BeltonFeb 06, 2013 Def won't be near 60k.. The CLA is an entry level model
Stephen Tyler LearnFeb 06, 2013 @max it takes about three gallons of ethanol to go as far as you would with one gallon of gas. That's only part of the problem with ethanol too
Rakesh SenthivelanFeb 06, 2013 YES! The NY Auto Show is the closest show to me, and thats good news, to know that there will be some great debuts this year. Last year was great with the SRT Viper and all, and I hope this year will be just as good!
Jordan SmithFeb 06, 2013 I think it should be around $45,000, but even then that's pretty pricey.
Ashton SummersFeb 06, 2013 $50-60k sounds reasonable. A dollar doesn't go as far today. For example, a well optioned Golf R will nudge $40k, and will be over after taxes
Mark Fei LingFeb 06, 2013 My next car! 350 horse with light nose and 4 Matic!
Andrew SuliteanuFeb 06, 2013 No way they'd do 60k$. That's c63/m3 territory. This looks more like an s4 competitor so maybe 47$k?
Max CookFeb 06, 2013 I am going to miss the v8 days. But what is wrong with using ethanol as another fule?
Jason BrownFeb 06, 2013 I'm pretty sure you already knew what carbuzz meant. Would have to be pretty thick in the head not to know what they intended. Given the base price for the CLA around 30k, wouldn't doubt if they price the AMG version around 50-60k, too expensive...
Andrew SuliteanuFeb 06, 2013 What kind of price are we looking at for this bad boy?
Mike ConradFeb 06, 2013 Think that says CLA45 AMG and A45 AMG. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe those might be two different cars.
Raymond ReynosoFeb 06, 2013 The A45 AMG will be powered by the same engine as the A45 AMG. Hmmm. Thanks CarBuzz
Ben TaylorFeb 06, 2013 Just kidding its not out yet hahaooooh
Ben TaylorFeb 06, 2013 I have one of these it's a beast
Xavier McDanielFeb 06, 2013 I love this! Idk why it's just simple but amazing
Adam WielandFeb 06, 2013 This is really starting to grow on me
Ryan SpencerFeb 06, 2013 I actually like this a great deal more than I'd originally expected. I only wish it had a 6 cylinder motor!

Stephen Reed Warren IIFeb 06, 2013 @josh. I agree. I understand why mercedes makes "cheaper" cars - to make a lot of money from them - but it still gets on my nerves how most ppl on the road don't know just how big the gap in quality and price is btw cla /c and s / cl
Josh MelhornFeb 06, 2013 Hopefully they make this legit. Unlike the CLA45 where everyone and their mom will eventually own one with a $29,900 msrp
Can't wait for that show! :D
Where do I sign up? The CLA is my #1 car atm!
Good I hate to cold.
