Rumors are they may do an AMG run of this model too along with the CLA... Looks like a decent Q3 competitor... and it actually looks somewhat wagon/hatch like.... Closer to the regular A class than I imagined they would make it.

Since it comes out 1 month before my lease expires in 2014... and I haven't heard of a 2014 Golf R release date with DSG, this is certainly interesting.

That or a Q3 if they come out with it... I don't like the standard automatic slushbox on the Tiguan. I really am looking for a DSG transmission + AWD in hatch/wagon/suv like form for my next car. Adjustable suspension for these crapass nyc roads would be a plus.

I'd consider it when my x1 is done but the GLA's taillights are way to small.

Tail lights too small? Want cadillac style? hehe

I was being sarcastic as they are huge! It also looks kinda Buick Encore'ish.

Haha, Sorry sarcasm detection failed. I do like that it has a lower drag coefficient than the GTI, and that it's not overly tall. But come on audi... give me the Q3 Vail edition!

Plus points to MB if they keep the laser projectors from the concept and let me project stuff on cars in front of me haha

I've seen several Q3's in person while working in India and have to say, it would be my choice over the GLA. I would have bought the Q3 over my x1 if it were sold here already.

I like it, but I'm not sure I like how it looks from the back.

I hate how this and the new A hatch's tails look like botox-injected lips. I don't know what the MB designers are smoking these days but it must be some good stuff.

More of the stick-on Tom Tom GPS look for the LCD screen I see.
