Lardy kerb cruiser with a sleazy strip club interior. Tory MPs form an orderly queue.

You're utterly deluded if you think any MPs of any other stripe are any better than tories when it comes to sleaze...

Reflecting the past few week's news, no I think not.

You use the mainstream news as the evidence to judge?? Wow.

I won't say anything on here but do not be fooled, everyone at the top level has done hella shady stuff, regardless of which side of the aisle they claim to be on.

[scoopdydoo]

Not bad, just wish they'd added more interior ambient lighting.

If I go to a red light district, i don’t want the merchandise to be dressed in primer grey.
Terrible choice of colour for press pictures…

[theicemario]

Not a patch on this



And of course it’s wker grey

Plastic blingtastic, which seems to be Merc’s philosophy nowadays. Plenty of shiny stuff for the instachav magpies.

Something for the Chavs to aim for once their credit score allows them to acquire one. Will be coming in their droves very soon to a new-build estate near you, to be posted on “insta” along with a new tattoo and Turkey-teeth.

To be honest, these start at around 50k for the coupes i believe, I dont think the monthlies would be affordable by the kind of people youre describing.

The kind you describe usually drive CLA 180 AMG lines, far more attainable.

[Wololo]

I love it.

I'll settle for the CLE200, and have it with brown leather interior please.

This. The interior looks like it's auditioning for a fight location in John Wick 5.

I see they decided to use that leftover grey primer paint c.2013 they still had knocking about.

When people post comments like this, it always makes me wonder why they are not so keen on revealing their own 'garage'. Hmmmm......

Less lithe than previous versions, ie a bit of a high waist line. OK and I prefer this interior to the bitty BMW interiors.
The gloss primer is a bit dull and does it few favours.

I hired a CLA 180 over the weekend to go up to Blackpool in, and I was surprised to learn that it only had a 134bhp 1.3 engine under the bonnet. The Sierra XR4x4 that I was driving around in 31 years ago had more bhp/torque and a quicker 0 to 60 in comparison!

Even though the engine was gutless(plus it felt a bit rough to use), it did drive well I thought though, plus I even managed to squeeze 49mpg out of it too.

One so needs the initial torque to hustle a car - today they tend to be heavy - in a parking space or manoeuvre around.

On paper the 1.3 looks sweet, with 160ps. IRL it's a no no for me.

I drove around in Italy with a similar vehicle and found it plain dangerous.

[Cacatous]

I still love these -

[dinkel]

Ooof, yes sir
