someone better warn them not to leave their I pad stuck on the dash like that!

seriously, i hope it can be folded away!

That I thought was the problem with the a class I had as a courtesy car.... Like an afterthought.... Don't like it

Looks like they left it in front of a fire for too long. as for the screen that looks to have been drop kicked onto the dash...........

You are so right about saving. I did exactly the same to buy my W204 estate.

So the new E Class will be FWD? Aren't the French genetically incapable of building cars that drive the correct pair of wheels? :):):)

It will be RWD. Renault Nissan make some excellent cars right now

Too many bits look wrong on the inside and outside.
Lots of nice bits too but it doesn't look like a finished item should.

Maybe it looks better in the flesh than on photos.

Im not sure I like that at all. The front looks like the old Peugeot 407 with the big grilles in the front bumper. It gets better once you get past the A pillar.

Has a sexy bum though.

Not bad looking on the outside (though not handsome either) but it has a pig ugly dash. Wtf is it with MB and those screens that look like a marketing department afterthought? Tablets are just sooo last year.

Won't be on the list for my next car.

This car will be another runaway success for MB. Could it be that the people on forums like this are not the target market thus the car not appealing to the majority?

If I was in the market for a car. I'd choose this over the new 3 series or the now very dated Audi A4

Looks fantastic! Agree with Hertz re elegance grill which I put on my sport for a while.

As for 'that screen' Did not like it and nearly put me off the CLA but I bought it instead of it. Suffice to say it has really (surprisingly) grown on me and I quite like it now!!! I like so many thought it was like a Halfords bolt on.

I may only keep the CLA for a year as this looks great!!!

I think this will be my next car. Probably the 220. Fancy the 9 speed auto but can't wait the 2 yaers or so. I will buy a nearly new car so probably late 2014. How is the sat nav updated? is there a cost for any update?

If I bought one I'd be looking down the options list for a computer screen upgrade to something that retracts and looks a lot more stylish.

Failing that MB may as well give you the option to ditch their screen and dock your own iPad onto the dash. Usual car info would appear via an app and you'd have your own music on tap :grin:

I'm fuming.

I've been at my current dealership for around a year; second longest serving Service Team Manager. I have a colleague who started a month ago.

She's going to the product launch next year, in the Algarve, while I sit at home. Ridiculous.

I don't doubt for a second I'll own one of these...

But why does this, and the CLA, and not the larger MBs have a slightly dumpy look. A little like the 1 series coupe, you can just tell, its the entry level car looking at in.

A 3 series and A4 seem to have a less dumpy, less junior car like stance. The interior more than compensates

Its the same as women, they come in all shaped and sizes and one size does not fit all.
