The shutdown made TSA employees likeable.

Not mine but this is the perfect use.

As explained in the article, they actually have no intention to sell the car. They want people to talk about and come in their dealership. Job done.

I immediately heard the In Living Color theme when I saw this car.

Jesus thank you, I had to do a double take on that one. It's fine, I guess, but work of art is stretching the bounds of any known reality. 

The Infiniti QX30 is based on the A-Class. The FWD versions have lower ground clearance, and the Sport is dropped further.

This is a highly functional interior, but it’s no work of art. That’s too much of a stretch. Other than the sculpted dash, it’s all early 90s Toyota parts bin.

I’ll need a minute.

“Be still, my beating heart”?! Beige is what color the complete lack of a pulse looks like.

They are just matching BMW and Audi in the German race to see who can produce the most different individual lines of vehicles.

I must admit, even as a car fanatic who doesn’t happen to know a ton about the M-B lineup, I’m not sure I’d know this thing is the entry level model.

I know it was said no hatchback in the US, but I’ma post this anyway.

Definitely looks like an upgrade on the first gen CLA. Downside is that this just opens the gates for more badgewhores to come to the brand that will think their A Class is a CLS. 

I’d rather have the Impala. After GM incentives I can get one for like $0.99.

It seems pointless to have both the A-class and the CLA on the market at the same time. You can’t even tell them apart. And haven’t they heard of the sedanopocalypse?

Cooling drag.

Sending air bouncing off a close-out is a lot more aerodynamic than letting that air bounce around in your engine bay.

I think because, especially for emissions reasons, temperatures have to be very carefully controlled.

I did miss that little bit off to the right. Sorry.
