On this episode of ignition, Frank Markus heads to Saint Tropez to test out the CLA, which is Mercedes-Benz’s brand new entry into the youth market.
The idea sounds fraught with danger: another sub-$30,000 Benz, this time with a 2.0l 208hp transverse engine, 258 lb-ft of torque, and a front-wheel drivetrain.
Will this new entry level kinder-Benz find the same fate as C230 sport coupe from several years ago, or is this a completely new philosophy on an entry level luxury car?

Only 100 units of the Aventador LP 720-4 50 Anniversario will be produced, each of which will come with a Forged Composite badge featuring the “50°” logo and a serial number.
Contrasting the body color is the new aerodynamic body kit finished in black that includes an extended front apron and splitter with small flaps set into the sides, side skirts, and a brand new rear bumper with an enlarged diffuser. The wheels are also painted in black.
Lamborghini engineers re-calibrated the Aventador’s 6.5-liter V12 powerplant that gains 20hp over the standard model for a total of 710hp (720PS). A fast-shifting ISR transmission drives all-four wheels with Lamborghini quoting a 0-100km/h (62mph) time of 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 350 km/h (218mph).

Priced at $32,500 MSRP with no help from the state/federal government, Fiat says that for those who are “eligible”, the price can drop as low as $20,500 after federal credits, state incentives and FIAT rebates are included.
Alternatively, Californian residents can lease the car for $199 per month for 36 months. Still, a $999 down payment is required for the latter.
The 500e has an EPA-certified range of 87 miles, or 139 km, which Fiat says is “best-in-class and better than all U.S.-market all-electric vehicles produced by high-volume manufacturers.”
