BEARS IN THE BARN

Sorry for instagram and purposefully never photographing my 2nd gen from the front (whoops!!!)
Only mods so far and likely to stay that way are a JBR rear engine mount and an accessport.
If you want juvenile fun on a budget I can't think of anything that does it like this, I don't even really notice torque steer anymore :wth:! They don't seem to be flying off the lots you can typically get them under invoice (I'm seeing tech packages go for under 24k sticker, which god drat, I definitely would have done that if only because the head unit this year looks pretty good by OEM standards)

I don't own it yet, simply because it won't be here until December at the earliest, but I do own a large deposit on a Mercedes A45. My specs look like this, but with a massive sunroof:



I ordered it for my mother to replace her Mark V Golf GTI but I kinda sorta want to keep it for myself after seeing the first reviews...

You look at the price tag and specs on this and say "Yes, this seems like a breakthrough car".

Then you look at the interior. What the fuuuuuck why is Mercedes the only manufacturer doing thisssssss

Seriously. The CLA45 AMG is the same price as an optioned up lancer evo.

A 355hp AWD mercedes the same price as a 291hp plastic fantastic mitsubishi. Somebody is doing something wrong. It's a shame the A45 isn't coming over to north america considering it's so similar to the CLA.

Any amount of competition is good, I mean Subaru doesn't want to make a hatch model of their new WRX concept but I'm sure they'll cave at some point if the market is there.

(which is crazy, Subaru saying no to a hatchback is like Honda saying no to a boring car :vd: )
