I would love to have an A45S, sucks they dont sell them here in the US. That would be my ideal daily driver/practical car

I like it a lot too, and I don't typically like hatchbacks/wagons. I personally think it's one of the better looking MB's (GTR being the king of course).

I love hatchbacks. So for me i hate how we miss out on some of the best ones out there. Once you get to the Golf R here theres really not much else. its all SUVs and Crossovers or Wagons. The last cool hatch we got was the Focus RS imo.

Ordered A91 edition Supra
I wonder if they used the 2020 or the 2021 model supra
I THINK IT'S THE 2021 MODEL
anyways it's strange the supra should pull on the roll race though
Pretty sure only the USA gets the 382 horsepower engine, so this should still be the 335 horsepower engine in this Supra.

I test drove the A45s when shopping for the Supra.
My drive away thoughts were rice cracker and lack of driver involvement.
Even looking at it again the hatch styling is quite polarising.

YMMV.

And yes had the focus RS prior to supra.
Funny to see A45s using same twinnster rear differential 5 years later.

Strange about the engine though, Ford really made some lemons or is that oranges from Valencia Spain..

Only saving grace was the manual but love the sports mode of supra very very close to manual drive.

Definitely over hatchbacks...
Yaris looks like a winner though.. :thumbsup:

if u read this review
https://www.whichcar.com.au/reviews/mercedes-amg-a45-s-vs-toyota-supra-gts
There is also this comment "The Supra’s driving position is superior, albeit in a much ‘cosier’ interior, and overall quality is of a higher level but storage space is at a premium and there’s no smartphone mirroring. The A45’s highs are higher, particularly in terms of design and equipment, but the proliferation of cheap materials throughout the cabin is disappointing in a $100,000 car. ."
