The prettiest member of the Mercedes-Benz MFA (Modular Front Architecture) platform has been selling on most markets for quite a few months now, while its AMG version has only been available for a little over four weeks in the US, for example.
Despite this, both the “regular” CLA and the CLA 45 AMG have been a sales hit, with supply being much more of a problem than demand.
The Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG is pretty, can go like stink and it's the cheapest AMG you can buy in the land of the free, so it's no wonder that it became so polarizing in such a short time.
Some two or three weeks before its official launch, for example, there wasn't a day without us reporting of yet another review of the car in the US, with most of their conclusions spanning from “great” to “awesome” or “fantastic”.
Neither one of those reviews called it the best car manufactured in the last two years though, which is what Jalopnik's contributor Doug DeMuro did in his review of the CLA 45 AMG.
