Ugh, really hating MB right now for making so much upgrades/updates to the GLA45 after only it's first year. :x

Damb!

That sucks.

Did you lease?

I felt the same when I bought my car. Unfortunately mine didn't come with auto pilot features and auto closing ports unlike the newer models

Yup, leased.

Aren't they still testing autopilot with the Model S? Are they out to the public and are being used by customers already?

My car just had an OS update, but nothing is released yet. Elon said something about the lines on the 405 being barely there but supposedly it should work soon. I'll never know that feel though.

ahh gotcha. I'd honestly be too scared to test it out myself, will just freak the hell out of me but would undoubtedly cool.

Did you see the referral system Tesla is currently running? I posted it on the Tesla thread, good way to make an extra buck if you got a friend or two whose willing to buy their own Tesla.

Next-Gen Mercedes A-Class Might Make It To The North American Market

Mercedes is enjoying such success with the CLA and GLA that they are legitimately considering importing the A class hatchback as well.

Mercedes compact volume jumped from 226,000 units in 2012 to more than 463,000 units last year, with nearly 66% of those buyers being new to the brand, which is spurring Mercedes to hunt for more volume at lower levels.

According to the Detroit Bureau, Daimler will more then likely debut the A class in North America along with the next generation W176 platformed cars. The news also ties into the eventual Daimler-Nissan-Renault joint facility in Mexico, where the A class will join future CLA and GLA production for North America.

The Aguas Caliente facility is already churning out Nissan branded products and is expected to start churning out Mercedes vehicles in 2018. Expect the A class along with a revised CLA and GLA then.
