Lunar Blue and other new colors are available for ordering the CLA45 AMG!!!

I was daydreaming on the internet and just discovered this! Remember how the CLA45 was met with strong enthusiasm but Mercedes would only make them in a few boring colors like black, silver, and white? Well no more. For the 2018 model, Mercedes has given us a full range of colorful colors :



Some dealers have even stocked the new colors as I browse Cars.com :

















One way or another this is great news. Whether you intend to Tom-McParland the car (i.e. to buy a deeply depreciated one) in the future or to order one for your wife, more colors will be there for you to pick.

For those unfamiliar with the subject, CLA45 is Mercedes's entry-level AMG sportscar, positioned to be a luxury version of Evo, STI, Focus RS, or Golf R. Many enthusiasts have troubles with its extremely laggy automatic transmission and default 100% F - 0% R torque split. The car drives like wrong-wheel drive at corners and there is no easy way to convert it to full-time AWD like the Evo's, because its rear diff is too small and will overheat. Nevertheless, many still dig the car for its luxury bling and it's a rather reliable car from Mercedes, based on the entry-level CLA platform which simply has less moving parts, than, say, the AMG GT where something breaks every new week.

For the money I would get an Audi RS3 instead. 400hp 5 cylinder ftw!

Yup, MB missed the mark on this car. Over priced for what it is.

I can't stand the rear end on this car, why couldn't we get the hatchback style rear end like the rest of the world gets (not that i'd buy it)
