Apparently customer deliveries of the A45 have started here? Anyone seen one other than those tow truck photos?

I think they're openly saying Australian buyers are suckers and we all could have made more money out of them if Merc weren't so stupid.
I'm very surprised comments like these would have been made publicly, surely this guy's days are numbered.

I've said it from the day Merc pricing for the A class was rumoured, bring it on Germania! They have screwed us for ever, about time I say and, BMW, suck it up!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, will M4/3 pricing, along with the 2 series, also reflect the new market pricing in Aus?

A guy on another forum works for Mercedes... photos courtesy of him.











Rear wing is an option (as well as the front canards?). I had no idea these had a liquid to air intercooler! Oh and check out the size of the dump pipe

Nice car if I am a 20 years old...doesn't matter how fast it goes it doesn't look classy at all....I would get a 2nd hand C63AMG if I want to go for a Merc. The 6.2 V8 pulls hard from 2500rpm.

But then my stock 1M pulls from 1500rpm

Is the aerodynamic of this car so bad that they need such an ackward wing to compensate?

Silly question. It's a track prepped race car, not a road car. Wing's not there to look pretty. It's there to give more downforce and allow it to corner at much higher speeds without sliding, just like a wing on a 911 GT3 Cup .
