"rim flange"

My wife loves A45's but not even sure she would go for this one and there's not a bargepole in this world long enough for me to touch this with! I test drove one and it did nothing for me, bought an M140i instead!

Ha ha rim flange

If that was sold in the states I'd drive it over a focus RS. Looks miles better.

I think you might be looking at the wrong picture.

The a45 AMG with the aero kit looks really nice. I saw a blue focus RS today, the 2nd one I've seen and it looks regular. Nice color on a regular looking focus. Makes zero sense why they do not sell these in the US.

The colour of a car can make a big difference. I actualy quite like the focus in blue.

Good F**k why would you.

On the otherhand that Talbot Lotus Sunbeam is a serious piece of kit!!!

This article just reminded me that Mercedes have form here. Anyone remember these beauties?

Weren't those slightly different to the standard car? They did a dual engine version, double the power of a standard A class.

I'm surprised the ad didn't mention "investment potential"!

The gla looks like crap. It's basically a crossover A class right?
