thought they already had generic designs, which is why they introduced different grilles & now l.e.d. daytime driving lights from the bumper to the headlamp? well if you can't beat'em, offer them more money, someone will bite.

Maybe Mercedes will lose the truck faces and detailing that ghetto pimps, ballers, and rappers find appealing. Maybe Mercedes will return to being iconically handsome rather than gaudy and opportunistic conveyances of drug slingers, athletes with more money than brains, and rappers with Will I Am delusions.

@610looper I'm sure you're an amazing person. I drive a Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca, a Maserati Qporte, and a TVR Sagaris Speed 6 (an manage a car collection with 19 vehicles on display), so yes I can afford a CLA, but I choose not to drive an ugly sedan when infinitely more attractive choices are out there that drive as well (Optima SXL, Fusion Platinum, Jetta GLI, ATS, ES, IS....).
