    But remember this is a true family sedan, not a single seat no frills race car, something that will sit in Sydney traffic for hours on the way to Eastern Creek and then eat it up when it gets there!

    Very true and I'd rather a gts any day for the week. But it does also command an extra $20k+. Or $40k+ if all you cared about was going fast and got a GS

    LINK

    0-100 and 0-400 it probably matches the GTS. But it is small.

    Link keeps dropping out my end, but if thats the cla amg, not bad, i am thinking of exiting my wifes R36 wagon for the a45 AMG... Depending on election outcomes re FBT .. Either AMG looks very nice

    ^ $$ maybe dunno what an Elise is worth, but not the same market... I dont mind the new Exige, performance and $ wise, but the kids might struggle holding onto the spoiler on the way to school maybe 10 years from now
