Latest estimations I saw somewhere else were around $55k for the CLA45, and a $10k premium for the S version.

Saying the other networks have been ‘somewhat reticent’ in their coverage is like saying that the Beatles were ‘somewhat popular’ in the 1960’s.

I happened to see this extremely bad take. It was incredibly frustrating and disturbing. I want to quote a different commenter, who has some academic experience in these matters. This is from Arnheim:

This was my favorite part.

i call bullshit, bmw will slap an m badge on ANYTHING these days, and i’m sure once they determine the amg a35 is making too much money they will push into that market-share...

We as a society need to address men’s emotions, for sure.

I don’t often say this about a politician, but the more I learn about her, the more I like Ocasio-Cortez. Seriously.

Oh you sweet summer child...

The whole article is worth a read, but here’s my favorite/dear lord help us all moment. After going on and on about how his appearance is keeping him from attracting the women he so deserves, Truth4Lies then drops this little nugget on us:
