Was at MB world last weekend, and saw this. I really like it, think it will sell very well.

Apologies for not the greatest photo.
It is GLA 220 CDI 4Matic AMG Line

That's a nice looking car and competition for the Q5 and X3 - needs bigger wheels though.
 
And a bigger engine. 220cdi mmmm sloooow.

Well its not the only engine :)

Not that slow, 0-60 in 8.3 and top speed 134

250 petrol is 0-60 in 7.1 top speed 143.

GLA 45 AMG will be much quicker, cant find the stats.
 
Thanks for posting that piccy. The one thing you can never get with pictures of cars on their own is a sense of scale. Did it appear to be a "jacked up" A class or was its road "presence " a bit bigger? I would like to compare it "back to back" with a Nissan Quashqai 2 and/or a RR Evoke which as I see as the top and bottom rivals in its projected customer range.
 
More Jacked up A class, my perception was smaller than the QashQai and Evoque, it did not seem that tall, definitely quite a bit taller than the A class though.

It has quite fluid lines, which may mask the size.

This is Q3 and X1 size, so think smaller segment.

I also took a look at it last week in MB world and though it was quite compact.

The boot wasn't very big.
 
Its a newer CDI, so that 220 is virtually the same as your 270

I know, and this thing is slow too. hah...

I'm too used to bikes.
