what Mercedes has done is figured out how to sell a tuned evo with a nice interior for 50-70k... so hats off to them. VW does it too with the TTRS and RS3. Those cars can run low 10s with a stock turbo setup which is extremely impressive. Then you have Porsche charging 70k for a 4 cylinder cayman.

Not my cup of tea. But I wouldn't fault someone for it. These engines are definitely light. I remember when my 335i was in for service and I got a 4 cylinder 328. the turn in was noticeably sharper thanks to the lighter weight up front. felt nearly as fast in the lower rpms too.

$55k and it will blow the pants off anything BMW makes for $55k and be a 4 door sedan doing it.

I think that's pretty cool. RS3 is its natural rival.

0-60 in 4s and all the reviews say this general of A/CLA45 AMG is a total hooligan.

OP's location is listed as Claremont, CA.

Maybe it's the other CA, the one to the north eh?

Yeah I live in the Claremont that is 30 miles east of Los Angeles. However, I just used the MB building tool to get that price.
