When I wrote a piece about the CLA Shooting Brake and said the car had its biggest rival in the Mazda6, one of my colleagues said something very compelling: the CLA is like a bad gift from prestigious brand that's been wrapped very well, while the Mazda6 is a good gift wrapped in average paper.
That also applies to the CLA sedan, which is probably why the car sold so well. Apparently, some people really do want a bad gift as long as it looks good. And the CLA looks oh so good, like one of those over-designed coffee makers or the transparent chairs you pay €500 for.
We're confident that you've never seen a Mercedes CLA reviewed by a sexy blonde girl from Russia, which is why we're bringing you Anastasia Tregubova's latest clip. Wearing short jeans, she tell us about other Mercedes compact and affordable cars, how the CLA is based on the A-Class.
Word of warning, Anastasia bangs her head against the door sill while getting in the back. So if you plan on seducing a sexy girl like her with the CLA, never let her ride in the back or you'll totally blow your chances.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
