Which civic out there is an awd with a 355hp 2.0L turbo engine? So I dunno how that statement works. So they are saying it's a civic with a mercedes body on it? Which part of the car is even comparable?

Not sure they're comparing the AMG version of the CLA to a Civic, it's more of the CLA250.

@asuri you should ask what's the allocation like lol i'm pretty sure we won't see a car late this year looking more like early/mid next year.

LOL yea for sure. i went to the dealership today (waited an whole hour for Amir, but whatever i didn't really care i just went around and sat in cars. I slammed the hood of the SLS and everyone looked at me hahah) and i'm assuming i'm in 7th place right now.

He said most likely i'll be getting the car by January. i was hoping to see it in december but let's just hope it gets here.
What he's been telling me is that people get sick of waiting for an allocation so they just drop out of their spot so we will move up. I call it BS, i doubt people would actually drop out of their spot. I don't deny the chances of people dropping out of their spot but i find it highly unlikely that it'll be the case.

If you do want to go see a CLA45, he let me upstairs to look at the ED1 Mountain Grey CLA45. I dislike the color but everything else was awesome.

ya i seen the e1 already. i wanted to get the e1 but by the time i found out about it it's already too late. the only thing different between e1 and the regular optioned out one is just the red accent and the racing stripes. but then again you can always add those later i believe as it's just an insert if u can find the parts number for it. hopefully we get ours before 2015 lol

I really hope we get it at least by December the latest. I dont want to be getting a 2015 model in mid 2015 cause that's when 2016 models are out... That being said, i dislike the red accents on the ED1, more specifically just the front end. I love red but it just doesn't do it for me.

Apparently the factory goes on break in July. I forget where i saw this (assuming it's from mercedescla forum) but yeah if that's the case, we're going to be getting out cars early 2015 qq.
