AMT Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 I do love a good 'I hate' or 'I love' this car post.. so heres another I've seen on the car news sites I have a gander at. http://www.autoblog.com/2015/11/28/mercedes-amg-a45-f1-champion-edition-official/#slide-3719488 The word I would describe it as rhymes with 'insidious'.. and its got nothing to do with the film...

Deano94 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 I quite like it. Especially the inside and F1 team colours. Quote
Ekona Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Interior works well, outside much less so. It's still not a car I ever have any desire to own. 1 Quote
Linus27 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 The outside looks ghastly. I know Renault have done a lot of these F1 specials and even Honda did a Jordan F1 special but on those sorts of cars it kind of works. It was also a bit more subtle. On the Merc, to me it's just doesn't work, it's in your face and I wonder what market or age group it's aimed at. Quote
veilside z Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Outside I feel would be car would be better plain. Lovely car though. Quote
GreenLandy Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 I still think the worst bit of Mercs these days is that stupid faux-tablet thing they have on the dash Quote
AMT Posted December 1, 2015 Author Posted December 1, 2015 Yeah, if they put them further in or hidden would be great but sticking up looking as if you glued your ipad to the dash... looks stupid. Quote
Ebized Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Outside I feel would be car would be better plain. Lovely car though. Always someone trying their luck to drive mine though 1 Quote
veilside z Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I wonder if the value of this model will hold a better residual value being an edition based on the F1 dominance. Time will tell I suppose. Quote
docwra Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I saw a CLA45 in Belgium the other day - proper nice, and thats coming from someone who doesnt like the look of the CLA Quote
Ebized Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Can't say I bought it for its looks and I would not been seen dead in the chavved-up Petronas edition. But some 360 bhp + 4 wheel drive + launch and host of other goodies, including an exhaust that pops and bangs when giving it some and in the wet has just unbelievable grip, it makes for an entertaining ride. And somewhat quicker than my ZEDs, but having said that the 370 was the best car I have enjoyed in my car ownership for sheer driving pleasure. 2 Quote
Zeezeebaba Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 I'm not keen on Mercs latest styling and those graphics really ruin it. 1 Quote
sipar69 Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Looks much better in the white above than with those daft green bits all over it. Quote
