After much contemplation about what to replace my daily hauler with (ML430), I can happily say I made a great choice with the new GLA. I wanted sporty, utility, great mpg and a looker... check x 4. I LOVE the GL45, but luckily I have the M3 to fulfill my need for speed! Couple of small gripes... yes the transmission is far less than perfect, the quarters are a bit cramped and several options that are standard in the competition cost $$$ in the GLA... but the total package, so far, seems and feels like a winner... okay it's only been 3 days, we'll see!!

Thank you! (but it's not a 45, but has the AMG Sports Package)

Not just unique... "the most beautiful car in the world!" Read this: Mercedes-Benz GLA is the Most Beautiful Car in the World - BenzInsider.com

Tied with the S Class... pretty good company!

Thanks, Alcatraz! (but my other car is a BMW, M3 convertible, not a MB... don't be mad!) They do look pretty nice together!

Agree! The X1 and X3 look (are) dated!

I've seen... Much improved but coming out as a 2017 model in the US... Still a year away. I couldn't wait and still prefer the overall styling of the GLA.

Agreed! Although I've always really liked the Evoque (gorgeous interior) but not at $10k+ over the GLA.
