I'm just going to leave this here.

Actually, the CLA is larger than the current C-class. The current C-class is in the same size class as the ATS. Therefore, the CLA is actually larger than the ATS.

Dude, that's awesome. I'm totally stealing that from you.

Because, quite simply...

No, no, I definitely still want one of these.

And?

Can I still name it George?

Interesting, as that's exactly the song I was listening to this morning. Also, get out of my head. Seriously, there's nothing left of value in there any more. There must be more interesting places to be.

Dear Mercedes-Benz,

To play devil's advocate, I am implicitly doing much the same.

Happy Friday, kids. It's time for a pauljones moment.

You know, on the note of brands that sell on image alone, enter Lamborghini. The Veneno and now the Veneno Roadster are the most cynical pieces of automotive schtick I've ever seen. Here they are, dressing up a basically stock Aventador with altered body panels, a fin, calling it a celebration of their (non-existent)…
