Yesterday, 04:31 PMSticky started a thread EVO compares the McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder to find out which is the fastest around the track in General Automotive - Comparisons, Motorsports, Tuning, Car Talk, and MotorcyclesWe have seen various test numbers for both of these cars. We know they are stupid fast in a straight line. The P1 for example does 0-60 in 2.6 seconds and blasts through the 1/4 mile in 9.8 @ 148.9 as tested by MotorTrend. The same source got 0-60 in 2.4 seconds for the 918 Spyder and a 10.0 @ 145.2 1/4 mile time. Those two tests were done on different days and what the numbers establish is that both accelerate at a rapid pace. These supercars are not dragsters. They are built to be the absolute quickest around a roadcourse and McLaren claims its rear wheel drive P1 (which is considerably lighter than the all wheel drive 918) goes around a roadcourse faster than anyone. Well, EVO put this to the test. The test course is pretty tight and fairly short with laptimes just over a minute. Regardless, no complaints here about seeing these two heavyweights tested in the same place at the same time. So what happens? Well the heavier all wheel drive Porsche offering more torque beats the lighter McLaren P1 by 2/10's of a second. Now, why is that? The cars are close in performance obviously but the P1 on paper has the advantage. The issue boils down to traction and the 918 offered more of it. McLaren decided to send EVO a new set of tires so they could do the test with the P1 again. This time, the Pzero Corsa tires were replaced with Pzero Trofeo R tires. With the new tires grip and traction were improved and the P1 in similar, but different, conditions improved by over a second over its previous time as well as the 918 Spyder: The McLaren P1 wins but after a tire change showing just how big of a difference a simple set of tires can make. Porsche did not bother sending different tires or a crew to help they simply let their car do what it does. Ferrari apparently just watched both from the sideline. The P1 is the quicker car around the roadcourse although it clearly needs to be prepped to do so. The 918 Spyder by virtue of its all wheel drive seems like it is more forgiving on more courses and conditions. They're both spectacular machines regardless of which gains a tenth here or there. Porsche 918 Spyder specification Engine V8, 4593cc, plus 95kW and 115kW electric motors Max Power 875bhp @ 8600rpm Max Torque 940lb ft @ 6600rpm 0-60 2.8sec (claimed 0-62) Top Speed 211mph-plus (claimed) McLaren P1 specification Engine V8, 3799cc, twin-turbo, plus 131kW electric motor Max Power 903bhp (combined) @ 7500rpm Max Torque 664lb ft (combined) @ 4000rpm 0-60 2.8sec (claimed) Top Speed 217mph (limited)6 replies | 50 view(s)
Yesterday, 03:46 PMSticky started a thread C117 CLA: Mercedes-Benz releases the awesome CLA shooting brake or wagon including a CLA45 AMG variant only to skip over the USA in A, B, and CLA-ClassIs anyone really surprised? The very nice looking CLA shooting brake variant (or hatchback, or wagon) is not coming the USA. Why? Well the typical reason which is that Germans think Americans hate wagons. Maybe we would buy wagons if we ever got any of the cool ones? Just look at how freaking well the CLA design transfers into a wagon form. It is almost as if it was designed this way to begin with. The sloping roof proportions just look absolutely perfect and dare we say it better than the sedan. The real kicker is that Mercedes-Benz is doing an AMG variant which means a dual clutch all wheel drive sporty wagon with the world's most powerful four-cylinder engine exists and would likely be sought over performance Audi's in colder US climates. If Audi wagons sell in the USA why wouldn't this? Oh well. Look at the press release, photos, and dream about what could have been. THE NEW MERCEDES-BENZ CLA SHOOTING BRAKE: SPACE FOR SOMETHING NEW Stuttgart. Breathtakingly sporty proportions and a powerfully dynamic design idiom with sensuously shaped surfaces already made the CLA unmistakable in its four-door Coupé guise. It is now followed by a further design icon, the CLA Shooting Brake, with a unique look all of its own. The lower overall height and the elongated coupé-style roof contour line, the low greenhouse and the sweep of the high beltline are the key design features of its distinctive profile. As is the gentle downward slope of the roof line, which makes for significantly more headroom than in the four-door Coupé. The CLA Shooting Brake (length/width/height: 4630/1777/1435 mm) will initially be available with a choice of two diesel and three petrol engines as well as with 4MATIC all-wheel drive. It goes on sale in January 2015, with the first models going to customers towards the end of March 2015. "The new CLA Shooting Brake is the latest member of our successful family of compact models. The range, which now includes five models, covers an extremely wide spectrum: with the spacious B-Class sports tourer, the youthfully dynamic A-Class, the avant-garde CLA-Class Coupé and the compact GLA-Class SUV, we cater for a host of different customer wishes in this segment," says Ola Källenius, Member of the Divisional Board Mercedes-Benz Cars, responsible for Marketing & Sales. "Like its big brother, the CLS Shooting Brake, the CLA Shooting Brake is targeted at active customers who are looking outside of the mainstream for a car that impresses with a high utility value." The guiding principle behind the designers' work was that of sensual purity as an expression of modern luxury. "The new CLA Shooting Brake offers a contemporary interpretation of sensual purity and represents the perfect synthesis between the emotionality of a coupé and the intelligence of a shooting brake," explains Gorden Wagener, Head of Design at Daimler AG. "The styling of our CLA Shooting Brake is extremely progressive as well as unmistakable. Once again, we have created a whole new class of vehicle." The thrilling design details of the limited-edition OrangeArt Edition special model ensure that it brings an exciting note to the market launch. Orange highlight rings around the bi-xenon headlamps ensure that they stand out in spectacular style. The rim flanges of the AMG light-alloy wheels are painted in orange on the OrangeArt Edition. Orange/black sports seats and orange contrasting topstitching help to define the interior. As spacious as they come: beauty in its most practical guise The elegantly long drawn-out Shooting Brake tail end, in conjunction with the variability that this offers, guarantees exceptional recreational value without compromising on the CLA's aspiration to represent design at its best. At the same time, headroom in the rear is significantly greater than in the four-door CLA. At 94.7 cm, the effective headroom in the rear is 4 cm higher than it is in the companion model. Access to the second row of seats is also much easier. This spaciousness is one of the strengths of the Shooting Brake. The load compartment offers a capacity that ranges from 495 to 1354 litres (when loaded up to the upper edge of the rear seat backrests or loaded to the roof with the rear bench seat folded down, respectively). If the rear seats are moved into the more steeply raked "cargo" position, the load capacity increases to 595 litres while still leaving space for five occupants. The width of the luggage compartment, at up to 1328 mm, is leading in this segment. Clever little details, including the magnetic catch on the through-loading flap in the rear-seat backrest for long items, such as skis, are further typical examples of this carefully thought-out concept. Options such as the electrically operated EASY-PACK tailgate or the Load Compartment package help to enhance convenience and variability when using the load compartment. Apart from the "cargo" positioning option for the rear-seat backrests, the Load Compartment package includes a collapsible box, a 12 V socket and an additional stowage net at the side of the load compartment. To add to the exclusive ambience, aluminium strips with anti-slip inlays are available as an option for the load compartment floor. With a Cd value of 0.22 in its BlueEFFICIENCY Edition guise, the four-door CLA sets a new benchmark – both within the Mercedes model portfolio and among all series-production vehicles. The CLA Shooting Brake, too, holds its own alongside the world champion with outstanding aerodynamics while likewise leading its segment with a Cd value of 0.26. The drag area Cd x A, a decisive factor when it comes to wind resistance, is 0.57 m2 on the CLA Shooting Brake. The engine range available with the CLA Shooting Brake is extensive right from the start of sales, comprising two diesel and three petrol units. All engines impress with their agile performance, low noise levels and low emissions. The CLA 200 CDI, with an output of 100 kW (136 hp), is particularly efficient: it has a top speed of 215 km/h and a combined consumption figure of just 3.9 l/100 km, with emissions of 101 g CO2/km. All versions are equipped as standard with the ECO start/stop function and are Euro 6-compliant. All-wheel drive is likewise available straight from the market launch, initially in the CLA 250 4MATIC and CLA 250 Sport 4MATIC (features include: dynamic styling, sporty tuning of engine, accelerator and transmission as well as sporty engine sound). Diesel variants in the form of the CLA 200 CDI 4MATIC and CLA 220 CDI 4MATIC will follow in September 2015.

Design: sharp contours and sensuous surfaces Two years ago, in the form of the CLS Shooting Brake, Mercedes-Benz created a sports car such as had never been seen before: one with five seats and a large tailgate. The founders of this vehicle concept are now following it up with a smaller version, the CLA Shooting Brake - a second Shooting Brake model exuding stylish sporty flair and modern luxury, with lines that are the essence of sensual purity. Many of the detailed elements of the CLA Shooting Brake, such as its frameless side windows, appear to define it as a coupé, yet at the same time it offers the variability and practicality of an estate car. And with its long bonnet, sleek window profile with integral rear quarter window and the gentle downward slope of its roof as it flows to the rear, it demonstrates the same crouching posture as the CLS Shooting Brake. The long sweep of the roof right to the rear of the car means that it offers more headroom in the back than the four-door CLA coupé model, as well as being easier to get into. The interplay between sharply defined lines and large surface expanses gives rise to some exciting and characteristic light effects, resulting in a unique look that sets the CLA Shooting Brake quite apart from other vehicles in related segments. The sporty design of its front section gives the CLA its typical look. Among the striking features that contribute to this characteristic dynamic look are the powerdomes on the bonnet that are such a hallmark of Mercedes coupés, and the diamond radiator grille with central Mercedes star. The way the bonnet is embedded into the front end makes it appear longer and, in conjunction with the upright radiator grille and the prominent V-shape of the front end, gives the car its crouching posture. The arrangement of the light modules and LED behind the headlamp lenses gives rise to the characteristic "eyebrow" effect for the daytime running lamps and indicators. The sleek cabin, the elongated roof contour line, the high beltline with low side windows and an additional quarter window, plus the D-pillar that tapers towards the rear, are the particular styling elements of the CLA Shooting Brake seen in profile. Two character lines define this profile: the new, modern interpretation of the "dropping line", together with a further separate swell to the flank above the "dropping line". This supports the D-pillar, which in its turn continues the line round to the tailgate. The precise lines and three-dimensional effect of the side design create a sinewy, animated play of light and shadow. The broad emphasis of the rear end conveys a sense of power, in an interplay of tense, muscular volume and sharply defined edges. The sloping roof line, the pronounced curve of the rear window and tailgate and the distinctive look of the rear end as a whole give the CLA Shooting Brake an unmistakable flair of its own. The narrowing of the car at the D-pillars, in conjunction with the broad shoulder muscle over the rear wheel arch, adds up to a strikingly athletic look, particularly when seen from the rear. The elegant arrowhead design of the rear light clusters carries the harmonious flow of the shoulders round from the side to the rear end, the horizontal orientation serving to emphasise the powerful width of the vehicle. The single-piece rear light units are set neatly into the body and reflect the relationship of the CLA Shooting Brake to both the four-door Coupé model CLA and to the larger CLS Shooting Brake. The light functions are presented in an arrowhead arrangement. All aerials are integrated into the sporty roof spoiler. Interior: high-quality materials and integral seats The exterior's progressive, sporty appearance is continued inside the vehicle. The interior additionally derives a very special quality feel from the design idiom of sensual purity as well as the selection and available combinations of the materials chosen. Special equipment packages include colour-contrasted stitching. The twin-tube instrument cluster comprises two large round dials, each with a small round dial set inside it. When at rest the needles are in the 6 o'clock position. The silver-coloured needles are inlaid in red, while the dial faces feature a silver-grey textured surface. Another highlight is the new generation of 3-spoke steering wheels in different variants, including a multifunction sports steering wheel with flattened bottom section and red or black topstitching. The instrument panel incorporates five round vents. The outer rings of the round vents on all models have a high-quality silver chrome galvanised finish. The airflow direction is governed by a very neat galvanised insert that reveals a meticulous attention to detail. The CLA Shooting Brake features the latest generation of telematics systems. The free-standing display screen features a large screen diagonal of 17.8 cm (7 inches), together with a high-gloss piano-black front panel, a flush-fitting frame in Silvershadow and a fully glazed screen. Upon request in conjunction with COMAND Online, or as an option for the Audio 20 system, the display is available with an even larger screen diagonal of 20.3 cm (8 inches). The functions shown on the display combine an intuitive approach with attractive images and graphics, thus ensuring a positive user experience that adds to the exceptional design appeal of the interior as a whole. The CLA Shooting Brake in the AMG Line and Urban equipment lines is fitted with integral seats in the front and rear, underscoring its sporty character. The emphasis of the rear bench seat is on the outer seats (2+1-seater). Colour-coordinated contrasting topstitching is available based on the chosen equipment. The ambient lighting system encompasses a total of 13 light sources in the interior, among them a light in the opening between the head restraint and the backrest. The ambient lighting system is available as an option with different colours: any of twelve colour schemes can be selected to suit taste and mood, helping to conjure up an individual atmosphere in the interior. Equipment and appointments: OrangeArt Edition, AMG Line and Urban The thrilling design details of the limited-edition OrangeArt Edition special model ensure that it brings an exciting note to the market launch. Orange trim in conjunction with selected equipment features, such as the AMG Line and Night package, emphasise the sporty flair of this model. A distinctive sporty look is also ensured by 45.7 cm (18-inch) AMG multi-spoke light-alloy wheels, painted in black with an orange rim flange, together with orange highlights on the front and rear aprons. The bi-xenon headlamps feature orange highlight rings. The interior, too, is imbued with a sense of exclusive dynamism, thanks to the Exclusive package, sports seats with leather/DINAMICA microfibre upholstery in black/orange and orange contrasting topstitching, along with black seat belts with accentuating orange stripes. The 3-spoke multifunction sports steering wheel in leather, the instrument panel in ARTICO man-made leather and the aluminium trim with honeycomb-pattern grain, as well as fine detailing such as the recurring orange contrasting topstitching in the interior, convey a sense of delight in the unusual. The CLA Shooting Brake is also available with either of the two equipment lines Urban and AMG Line, in each case with numerous line-specific details for both the exterior and interior. The AMG Line augments the sportiness and exclusivity of the CLA Shooting Brake. This equipment line includes a more dynamic exterior with AMG bodystyling, 45.7 cm (18-inch) AMG 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels and a two-pipe exhaust system with chrome-plated tailpipe trim. The interior also exudes a sporty flair, with sports seats in ARTICO man-made leather/DINAMICA microfibre, a multifunction sports steering wheel with flattened bottom section and a leather-upholstered shift lever. The lowered sports suspension enhances handling as well as driving enjoyment. The Urban equipment line uses selected exterior and interior equipment and appointment features in a similar way to emphasise the vehicle's dynamic appeal, whilst also allowing further individualisation. Dynamic highlights of the exterior include a diamond radiator grille with high-gloss black pins, the 45.7 cm (18-inch) 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels and the two-pipe exhaust system with chrome-plated tailpipe trim. Contributing to the sporty character in the interior are the sports seats with contrasting topstitching, a multifunction leather steering wheel with perforated grip area and a wave-look trim element. The optional panoramic sliding sunroof with its large glazed area provides for an especially bright and friendly ambience in the interior. It comprises an electrically operated glass sliding roof for individual ventilation of the interior, together with a mesh wind deflector. This reduces both draughts and wind noise when the roof is open. Safety: autonomous braking if a risk of collision is detected Accident researchers at Mercedes-Benz have recently calculated that COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS could cut the number of serious rear-end collisions by up to 30 percent compared with vehicles that do not have a corresponding protective system. For their prognosis, the safety experts used figures from Germany's Federal Statistical Office to assess how effective standard-fit COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST has been in the B-Class to date and simulated digital accident data. The CLA Shooting Brake features COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS as standard. This assistance system extends the functionality of COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST by the addition of autonomous braking to reduce the risk of rear-end collisions. If the driver fails to act when a risk of collision is detected, despite the warning lamp in the instrument cluster and the intermittent audible alert, the system will automatically trigger braking. The vehicle speed is thus already significantly reduced. Depending on the relative speed, this intervention may be enough to avoid a rear-end collision with vehicles that are driving more slowly, stopping or stationary, or significantly mitigate its severity. Also fitted as standard is the drowsiness detection system ATTENTION ASSIST. Operating within an extended speed range (60 - 200 km/h), it uses a five-stage bar display to visualise the driver's current attention level. "Mercedes connect me": Accident Recovery, Maintenance Management and Breakdown Management "Mercedes connect me" connects the CLA Shooting Brake with the world around it. The communications module, which is available as standard in certain European countries, makes it possible to use the Mercedes connect me range of Standard Services. Available services include, for example, Accident Recovery, Maintenance Management and Breakdown Management. In an accident, the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system automatically connects the occupants with the Mercedes-Benz Emergency Call Centre and sends the position and condition of the vehicle to the rescue operations centre. A rescue vehicle can then be dispatched immediately. The system works automatically, but can also be triggered manually. The optionally available Remote Online facility allows the customer to connect to their vehicle from anywhere and at any time via "connect.mercedes.me" and, for example, to use their smartphone to find out how full the tank is. Success story: the compact car family from Mercedes-Benz The new CLA Shooting Brake is the fifth member to join the Mercedes-Benz compact car family. And what a successful family it is: with a total of 375,000 A-, B-, CLA- and GLA-Class vehicles, more compact models than ever before were sold in the first ten months of 2014. More than a fifth of the compact cars built by Mercedes-Benz stay in Germany, with Great Britain and Italy the next-largest markets. The introduction of the new compact car models has seen the Mercedes-Benz brand become palpably younger in appeal - around the world, the average age of its customers has fallen. Around the world, some 900,000 vehicles of the new generation of compact models are now in customer hands, including 100,000 CLA models. The conquest sales rate for the CLA worldwide stands at around 50 percent. The CLA Shooting Brake is built at the company's plant in Kecskémet, Hungary. ### THE NEW MERCEDES-BENZ CLA 45 AMG SHOOTING BRAKE: AVANT-GARDE MEETS DRIVING PERFORMANCE Affalterbach. Mercedes-AMG is continuing its model initiative: following on from the successful A 45 AMG, CLA 45 AMG and GLA 45 AMG models, the Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake is now the fourth high-performance compact car to be brought out, and it makes a stunning impression with its unique interior concept and its unrivalled mix of thrilling driving dynamics, excellent everyday usability and tremendous individuality. The sensational avant-garde concept of the CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake offers yet another highly attractive means of entering the fascinating world of AMG. With an output of 265 kW (360 hp) and peak torque of 450 Newton metres, the 2.0-litre turbo engine is the world's most powerful four-cylinder engine in series production. "The continued high demand for our high-power compact models more than justifies our decision to launch another exceptionally dynamic high-performance car in the form of the new CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake," remarked Tobias Moers, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH. "This means that Mercedes-AMG now boasts the most varied model line-up in this segment. The CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake serves up an enthralling blend of supreme power and dynamic handling on the one hand plus efficiency and everyday practicality on the other, all beautifully packaged within an extraordinary design." The fourth high-performance compact car from Mercedes-AMG adopts the same philosophy as the successful CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake by taking the form of a sports car with five seats and a large tailgate. The five-door newcomer plays out its role as an individual, extravagant trendsetter for connoisseurs to perfection: stylish, cool and right in touch with the times, the design and dynamic performance of the compact-sized Shooting Brake from AMG will satisfy even the most discerning demands. Despite the sporty, progressive looks, featuring a roof line that slopes down gently towards the rear, low-set cabin, long bonnet, exaggerated, high beltlineand a dynamically styled tail end, absolutely no compromises have to be made when it comes to everyday practicality: thanks to a versatile luggage compartment with a maximum capacity of 1354 litres and the increase in headroom compared to the four-door coupé, the CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake is the perfect companion for day-to-day driving. At the same time, it lends itself to the enjoyment of all manner of leisure pursuits and is sure to delight a physically active target group that enjoys a design-oriented lifestyle and is constantly on the lookout for new trends. Exceptional power-to-displacement ratio, low fuel consumption The CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake comes equipped with an impressive engineering package to deliver the desired highly dynamic performance. The most powerful series-production turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the world promises a thrilling drive, generating a remarkable 133 kW (181 hp) per litre of displacement and catapulting the CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake from standstill to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds. At the same time, the fuel consumption of just 6.9 litres for every 100 kilometres (NEDC combined) also underlines the trailblazing standards of efficiency achieved by Mercedes-AMG.The list of technical highlights also includes the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports transmission, fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive, the powerful braking system and a chassis that has been purpose-developed, from the tuning set-up right through to the axles. Key data at a glance: Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake Displacement 1991 cc Bore x stroke 83.0 x 92.0 mm Output 265 kW (360 hp) at 6000 rpm Max. torque 450 Nm at 2250-5000 rpm Power density 133 kW (181 hp) Fuel consumption NEDC combined 6.9 l/100 km CO2 emissions 161 g/km Efficiency class C Emissions standard EU 6 Acceleration 0-100 km/h 4.7 s Top speed 250 km/h* * Electronically limited As a high-performance engine belonging to the BlueDIRECT family, the AMG 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo engine features spray-guided direct petrol injection via piezo injectors positioned centrally in the four combustion chambers with an injection pressure of 200 bar. The combination of multiple fuel injection and multiple spark ignition improves fuel economy and significantly increases thermodynamic efficiency, leading to low exhaust emissions. The CLA 45 AMGShooting Brake therefore already complies with the Euro 6 emissions standard, including the limit for maximum particulate emissions that comes into force from 2016. In June of this year,the four-cylinder turbocharged engine achieved a memorable double at the "Engine of the Year Awards 2014" by winning the "New engine 2014" and "1.8-litre to 2-litre" categories. As far as its technology is concerned, the AMG 2.0-litre turbo unit is related to the 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine in the new Mercedes-AMG GT that delivers up to 375 kW (510 hp). Twin-scroll turbocharger and sports exhaust system with exhaust flap A twin-scroll turbocharger, maximum dethrottling of the exhaust system and an innovative new injection strategy result in an instantaneous build-up of charge pressure and swift generation of high torque from low revs. A positive side-effect: fuel consumption and exhaust emissions also benefit from twin-scroll technology. With a maximum charge pressure of 1.8 bar, the AMG 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo engine leads the field on this front, too. The sports exhaust system with automatic exhaust flap control succeeds in resolving the conflicting aims of a dynamic driving experience and the long-distance comfort for which Mercedes is renowned: unobtrusive when driving at a constant speed, the engine's soundtrack switches to AMG's hallmark emotion-stirring tone in response to sharp acceleration and use of the double-declutching function. AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports transmission The AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports transmission features, three distinct transmission modes, a double-declutching function dependent on the transmission mode and a RACE START function for optimum acceleration.The strengths of the dual-clutch transmission include spontaneous gear shifts without loss of tractive power, a tailor-made control strategy based on the AMG SPEEDSHIFT functions, extremely smooth gear shifts, and a high level of efficiency. The shift times in the manual mode "M" and the sport mode "S" are extremely sporty. Quick and precise retardation of the ignition interruptions and suppressing injection under full load lead to even faster gear shifts in "M" and "S" modes, with a more thrilling sound. The transmission control fully utilises the benefits of the direct injection technology right up to the physical limits: the quicker engine response ensures that injection is suppressed with even more precision. This results in a highly fascinating shift speed and an emotional sound experience. In "C" mode (Controlled Efficiency), smooth transmission and engine characteristics support a fuel-efficient and comfort-oriented driving style. In addition, in "C" mode the ECO start/stop function is active. Another special feature designed to enhance dynamic performance and driving enjoyment is the so-called "Momentary M mode" – as seen in the new Mercedes-AMG GT sports car. AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive AMG Performance 4MATIC – this highly sophisticated variant of the 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system provides the best possible mix of dynamism, traction and efficiency in any driving situation. This is made possible by fully variable distribution of drive torque, ranging from full front-wheel drive to a 50:50 split. A two-part propeller shaft transfers the power from the AMG 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo engine to the rear axle. In the interests of favourable weight distribution, an electrohydraulically controlled multiple-disc clutch is integrated with the rear axle differential. The multiple-disc clutch control detects slip at the front axle. A hydraulic pump instantaneously presses the discs together and channels the engine torque to the rear wheels as necessary. All this takes place without the driver noticing. Power distribution is fully variable: during normal driving, the CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake uses front-wheel drive for optimal efficiency. Depending on driving conditions and driver input, the variable all-wheel-drive system splits the torque between the front and rear wheels up to a ratio of 50:50. The 3-stage ESP® program offers a choice of three customised driving modes: "ESP ON", "SPORT Handling Mode" and "ESP OFF" can be activated at the push of a button. Sports suspension and high-performance braking system Like the other AMG high-performance compact cars, the CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake also comes equipped with elaborate axle technology. The AMG axles feature independent steering knuckles at the front together with specially configured elastokinematics. All axle bearings have a more rigid design compared to the standard production version. These measures result in more spontaneous and direct turn-in and handling characteristics as well as greater lateral acceleration capabilities. The AMG chassis with its specially tuned spring/damper elements and more powerfully proportioned anti-roll bars forms the basis for superb lateral dynamics and reduces body roll when cornering at speed. The AMG Sport speed-sensitive steering gives the driver extremely precise control over the vehicle. The purpose-designed high-performance braking system, meanwhile, with vented and cross-drilled brake discs all round provides for dependable, instantaneous deceleration. Sporty and progressive AMG design The CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake makes its mark in style with a sporty and progressive design. Highlights when viewed from the front include the radiator grille with AMG lettering and twin louvre in matt titanium grey, along with the brand's trademark front apron featuring a splitter in a striking colour finish. The large air intakes on the outside are framed by prominent black surrounds. Along the vehicle's flanks, side sill panels with inserts in matt titanium grey and "TURBO AMG" badging on the front wings produce an air of sporty superiority. Various light-alloy wheels in 8 x 19-inch format with size 235/35 R 19 tyres are available as an alternative to the standard 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels painted titanium grey with a high-sheen finish and measuring 8 x 18 inches with 235/40 R 18 tyres. The elongated roof line that slopes down towards the rear terminates in a powerful and athletic-looking tail end. The roof spoiler with its special trailing edge is exclusive to the range-topping AMG model. Measuring around three centimetres in height, this Gurney flap, as it is known, reduces the lift that can occur at high speeds, thereby improving roadholding at the rear axle. The sports exhaust system's chromed twin tailpipes are integrated into the black diffuser insert. Matt titanium grey trim and a rear apron with simulated air outlet openings at the sides add further visual highlights. An air of dynamism and exclusivity in the interior, too The sense of dynamism and exclusivity so characteristic of Mercedes-AMG is also clearly apparent in the interior of the CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake. Classy touches include the sports seats in ARTICO man-made leather/DINAMICA microfibre with red contrasting topstitching and red designo seat belts, the flat-bottomed multifunction sports steering wheel with shift paddles and the AMG DRIVE UNIT in the centre console. The CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake features longitudinal-grain aluminium trim, five galvanised air vents with red rings and an instrument cluster in 2-tube look. The central colour display incorporates the AMG main menu including RACETIMER and AMG start-up screen. The standard specification also includes the following features (selection): • ADAPTIVE BRAKE • ATTENTION ASSIST • COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS • ESP® Curve Dynamic Assist • Active bonnet • AMG door sill panels in brushed stainless steel at front • AMG floor mats • Bi-xenon headlamps • Audio 20 USB multimedia system • Brushed stainless steel sports pedals Customers are able to lend their CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake an even more individual touch by opting for the Exterior Carbon-Fibre package, the AMG Night package or the AMG Exclusive package. Overview of further attractive optional extras (selection): • Red painted brake callipers with AMG lettering in black • Carbon-fibre exterior mirror housings • Carbon-fibre trim • Performance exhaust system • Performance steering wheel • Performance seats • 8 x 19-inch multi-spoke light-alloy wheels painted matt black, rim flange in high-sheen finish, with 235/35 R 19 tyres • COMAND Online • Load compartment floor with aluminium strips and lockable aluminium handle • DISTRONIC PLUS proximity control system including COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS • Lane Tracking package including Lane Keeping Assist and Blind Spot Assist • EASY-PACK tailgate • Intelligent Light System • Load Compartment package • Electric panoramic sliding glass sunroof The OrangeArt Edition – stylish dynamism with eye-catching contrasts The thrilling design of the limited-edition CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake OrangeArt Edition special model brings added flair to the market launch. Select design features in matt graphite grey above the side sill panels give added impact to the car's sporty lines. The splashes of orange in the AMG radiator grille, on the exterior mirrors and in the rear apron trim together with the Night package featuring black design features and chrome tailpipes produce a stunning overall effect. The multi-spoke light-alloy wheels painted in matt black also fit in perfectly with the styling, thanks to a rim flange painted orange and matching orange/black hub caps in centre-lock look. Colour-coordinated highlight rings around the bi-xenon headlamps make them stand out in spectacular style, too. Inside, the sense of exclusive dynamism is captured to perfection by the powerfully contoured Performance seats upholstered in leather/DINAMICA microfibre in black with orange contrasting topstitching and black seat belts with coordinated highlight stripes. The Performance steering wheel in DINAMICA microfibre with orange contrasting topstitching and matching 12 o'clock mark as well as the AMG E-SELECT lever further underscore this model's exclusive character, as does the specially designed OrangeArt Edition trim. Subtle details such as the recurring contrasting topstitching and the exclusive Edition badge on the AMG DRIVE UNIT convey a sense of passion for the extraordinary. Besides the CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake, the CLA 45 AMG Coupé is also available in OrangeArt Edition guise. The CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake is making its show debut in March 2015 at the Geneva International Motor Show, while the market launch is also due to start in March 2015.3 replies | 16 view(s)

Sorry MIA/ Miss you! Update (long)
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 12-27-2004 - 4:20pm
I miss you guys all so much & feel really awful about not having been around. Please give me an update on yourself!
We have been going through some real bad times & I have been totally exhausted & haven't had a minute to myself. Miraculously the babies have survived through everything & are doing exceptionally well. I am not even on bed rest thank God. I don't know how much worse things could have gotten if I needed help also. Here's an update. I'll have to post one on the boards as well.
It started over the summer when my Aunt died. My dad took that pretty hard & we all went out of town to be with the family. Then my crazy sister in law attacked my brother & he had her arrested. The judge released her to their home & my brother & his son came to live with me for a bit. My nephew was very scarred by her & had become violent & angry. Eventually she got the child back because my brother couldn't afford the lawyers who wanted $5000 up front before doing anything at all. We are behind on our bills as I haven't been able to work so we couldn't help with that. I had to sub contract all of my work due to Drs. orders. I hired 3 photogs & each one messed up on a job so that was a nightmare but I got though it with mostly happy customers.
My mom then took a fall breaking her elbow. They wouldn't do anything about it until she went through 3 weeks of testing to be cleared for surgery because she has other medical problems. We were running her around to the Doctors for awhile. All of my parents & my doctors are 1 1/2 hours away from here so every visit is an all day affair. She wound up in the joint hospital in Manhattan & we were taking turns with my brother taking dad to see her most every day for another 3 weeks. This is a 2 hour trip each way from here. She got out of the hospital just days before she had a baby shower planned for me. My Aunt & cousins helped her & the shower was really great. 2 days later on Monday, my dad had a heart attack & wound up in the hospital, again 1 1/2 hour trips each way. By Wednesday they had tested him & had to do an emergency double bypass. That was a really rough couple of days. We thought we might lose him. My DH was luckily on vacation for a week as we had to take mom home with us & she couldn't get up to go to the bathroom by herself. DH was up every 2 hours taking her to the bathroom & the phone was ringing day & night with the family so we got no sleep. I needed to get mom & dad into a rehab facility as DH & my brother needed to get back to work. Lack of $$ has become a real problem. I couldn't be left alone with the 2 of them as I could not lift them & take care of them without risking a problem with the PG. Dad was no problem getting into rehab but since Mom had been out of the hospital for over a week I had a hard time getting her in. The only one who could authorize insurance covered in-patient therapy for her was her general Dr. & he said it was a lot of paper work & he was too busy. I was so upset & will report him. Luckily my neighbor works as a supervisor at a nearby facility so he pulled some strings & got them in together. I had to take care of their bills & all their laundry & believe me that was enough to do. We are planning on putting them into my brother's rental home as the tenant is now out & there is a full bathroom downstairs. We are just having some trouble getting enough custodial care to help them as my DH & brother have to work full time & I can't do very much to help them. They got out of rehab & have been with me for the holidays. Mom is still having trouble getting herself up with the one arm & probably won't have any use of it for another month still as Dr says elbows take a long time to mend.
In the mist of all this we had the holidays to get through, trying to prepare to babies' room & lots of trouble that I have spent weeks on the phone trying to straighten out. We had my husband's union to fight with about my medication, (that took 3 months), our first IVF Dr. taking us to collections for $20 ( he had already collected $60 more in co pays than allowed by law), & our insurance co. losing the proof of that 3 times so far (still waiting for the docs in the mail). Disability turned me down 3 times despite my previous pg losses & all my Drs. notes saying not to work & now having me go to hearings (2nd one coming up, ins co. didn't show first time). My parents neighbor in NY reporting us for water in the pool, a mosquito hazard despite the fact that we have an automatic pump that goes on every time it rains. (he has thrown nails in our driveway, throws his barbecue grease over fence into our yard & begged DH to plow his driveway 2 years ago promising to shovel dad walkway. Dh plowed, but he never shoveled anything but S**t. I am the trustee & may have to pay $4000 in fines & 60 days in jail despite the fact that nothing was found. We hope they will postpone this until after the babies come. My in laws have been difficult with everything from saying we should not have anything prepared for the babies until after they arrive because it will cause bad luck, ( can't imagine trying to do all that with 2 newborns not to mention that furniture & the twin stroller takes so long to get) to who we choose for Godparents. They think a nursery is ridiculous & that the babies would be just fine sleeping with us even though DH's sister had a beautiful nursery for her kids & they had rooms & furniture for them when Dh & sis were babies. They say we are different because we don't have that kind of money & it is unnecessary.
I have been in & out of the hospital every 3 weeks with the IVIG & did really great with the Pg. I am finally done with that & going into my 34th week. I hope I don't go into labor for another 4 - 6 weeks because I still have so much to do to prepare for them. The highlight of my days has been feeling them move around, I love that so much. Haven't had time to take any belly shots & I'm a professional photog! Going to ask a coworker & see if I can get it done maybe in the next week or so. Hope the babies wait!
Hope all is going well with all of you & that all of your dreams come true! Keep me posted!
|Tue, 12-28-2004 - 10:54am
Hi Lisa,
We missed you greatly here! I am so happy to hear from you! Even though it sounds like you have been through the wringer, but what a joy that you are getting close to your due date and the time you will meet your babies. I am so sorry to hear about all the tough things that have happened in your family and I hope your Dad is feeling better now. I had a scare with my Dad(who is now 81 years young!) several years ago and we also nearly lost him from an aortic aneurism. He had gone into the hospital for some standard tests because of a severe backache (that had nothing to do with the aneurism) and in the process of all the screening, they discovered that this aneurism was about ready to burst and would have killed him. So that was taken care of. They also found he had major blockage in his heart and so they put some stents in some key areas to keep the valves open. It was quite an ordeal for him and it took him 6 months to a year to recover. Anyway, even though his life has slowed down considerably he still travels whenever he gets the chance and seems to be in pretty good health now.
I also took a break from the boards for quite some time and focused on getting well. I still am working on getting healthy from the chronic fatigue syndrome and have made some progress but still have "bad" days. My naturapath thinks I should actively start working on getting prg in the New Year and that is indeed my plan. I will still need to convince my BF to pay for treatments from Dr. Beer because I believe that I should go to him.
I did have a birthday in December (and turned 44....yikes!!!) but I am trying not to panic. It is hard because I don't think I have ever wanted something so much in my life (to have a healthy pregnancy and hold my own baby in my arms!!) Christmas can be hard sometimes especially when visiting my brother who has 4 kids, most of them grown up now except for an 11 year old. His wife(she is 46) made a comment about how she couldn't imagine having a child at this age, and I am sure they wonder about me. I have never told them about my mcs.
I also need to have a serious talk to my BF about possibly doing IVF, acupuncture and Dr. Beer together, but we might have to find another insurance company that might offer some better coverage than we currently have.
I wanted to give you the name of a friend of mine here in NYC who is an amazing doula, childbirth educator and photographer. (you mentioned that you still haven't taken any belly shots) She has taken many photos of prg women and is fantastic. (she is an amazing doula if you are interested in that, probably one of the best in New York) I don't want to post her info here so if you email me at email@example.com then I can get it to you. She really does beautiful photos and would travel out to you in NJ. (remind me exacly where you are?).
Big big hugs to you!!!

Lisa: It was great to hear from you. Obviously, you have an awful lot on your plate. I was so happy to hear that everything is progressing well with the twins. Have you picked out names yet? You seem to be doing a fantastic job of balancing so many different issues. I admire you.
I had a 2nd unsuccessful IVF and I am in the midst of changing REs. I love my new RE...she is really funny and positive and upbeat. Right now, she is having me go through a lot of testing the previous 2 REs hadn't recommended. This month, she is also having me do a BIE (Basic Infertility Evaluation) You go in on day 3, 10, 14, and 21 and the do u/s's and FSH/LH/Estrogen to see how you're doing on your own with no medications. Once this is all done, we will have a consult with the doctor and see where we go from there. I would consider one more IVF...we'll have to see where this all goes.
We are also pursuing an adoption through China. There is lots of paperwork to do...but I am excited to hopefully...finally starting our family. After 7 years of marriage I love dh to death...but we are both ready to share our love with our children.
Please stay in touch (I admit I don't post here like I used to...) It would be nice to keep tabs on you and the little ones.
Take good care.
|Fri, 01-07-2005 - 11:29am
Hi Margie
I was wondering where you live? Your new RE sounds great. I am really looking for some new alternatives myself but I first need to get new insurance because I am considering IVF and also I have been further diagnosed with chronic fatigue immune difficiency syndrome by my naturapath which means that I will have to get weekly doses of a high potency vit c cocktail (also mixed with other things including b vitamins) and my current HMO does not cover that. It is expensive so that is why I am looking into changing insurances.
Also I saw on your profile that you are a director. What kind of director?
hugs to you and baby dust to you!!

Traveling with children
Explore the World With Your KidsSubmitted by Dr. Jessie Voigts on Sat, 11/22/2014 - 16:42
One of the best things you can do for your kids is to raise them as global citizens. And the easiest way you can do that? Well, travel with them - as much as you can, as far as you can. Because they will be exposed to many different people, lifestyles, cultures, and landscapes, they will be interested in - and care about - the world around them.
Thailand Close UpSubmitted by Ashley Steel on Mon, 11/10/2014 - 00:45
Traveling is an excuse to look at the world with new eyes. What's different? What's the same? It's easy to get distracted by the big differences such as language, architecture, or dress. Training ourselves or our kids to look for the little interesting details is a challenge.
What sort of little detail?

Annual bird count tallies species to assess trends.
COBURG - With a pair of binoculars around his neck, a bird book sticking out from his coat pocket and a tripod-mounted scope in hand, Dick Lamster of Eugene looked the part of bird enthusiast on Sunday.
Now all he needed was for some birds to show themselves.
"It's like a treasure hunt," he said. "You're after good-looking birds you maybe haven't seen before. Everyone likes a treasure hunt."
Standing in a small pioneer cemetery on the southern outskirts of Coburg, Lamster and four other Lane County Audubon Society members participated in the chapter's annual Christmas Bird Count. Their assignment: Count the various birds and bird species spotted during the day in areas surrounding the town of Coburg, including the banks of the McKenzie River.
But Lamster and friends were hardly alone: More than 100 people in 22 groups in Lane County participated in Sunday's count and observed multiple birds from about 130 species. They surveyed a 15-mile-wide section for 24 hours, although only a few people worked in the dark to record the owl population.
The annual count helps show long-term trends in bird populations and identify when bird species may become endangered, Lamster said.
The count began nationally on Christmas Day in 1900 and spread through North and Central America. In Lane County, people have surveyed the bird population around Christmastime since before World War II, he said.
The count is "one-third social, one-third scientific and one-third doing something good for nature," said Lamster, an Audubon member and birder since 1975.
While many enthusiasts avoid distractions to focus on counting every possible bird in an area, Lamster and friends were more casual in approach. As they counted, they chatted about birds and the hobby of birding - and stopped to watch a red fox pounce on mice in a field.
But they're serious enough to object to being called bird watchers. "We're birders," Lamster said. "Birders are more serious. Anyone can watch a bird."
Their dedication was apparent in the cemetery as they named about 10 species without referring to a bird identification book.
"Someone just flew in here," Lamster's wife, Maeve Sowles, said as she pointed toward a tall oak tree. As necks craned upward, the birders positioned their binoculars for a closer look.
"It looks like a red-breasted sapsucker," someone said. Sowles recorded the sighting on a master list of about 140 bird species.
Sowles, the local chapter's president, has participated in the bird counts for nearly a decade.
"It's a lot of fun," she said. "Sometimes the days aren't very appealing to stand outside all day. But it's fun to get together with people."
Sowles and her cohorts started their count at 8:30 a.m. Over the next eight hours, they saw 50 species, including songbirds, hawks, blackbirds, ducks, herons, sparrows, towhees, quail and two mature bald eagles.
Dave Stone of Eugene, another member in the group, said looking for birds gives him a chance to explore the natural world.
"It's a great way to get out in the woods and see the land," he said. "(The birds) are the ones that show us what's going on in nature."
Lane County Audubon Society members Maeve Sowles (left) and Dick Lamster focus their sights on a northern harrier. They were one of several groups deployed throughout the county to determine species numbers.

He died of an overdose in 1970 at the age of 27. This collaborative tribute to Hendrix, described by one of its creators as "not so much outright biography as speculative fantasy," explores the excitement and the pitfalls of rock stardom sympathetically and perceptively.

Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad routinely spends much of his time on the road to meet with constituents and promote the state.
Branstad's travel records have been reviewed and the findings reveal that the governor visited all 99 Iowa counties in the past year and took 23 out-of-state trips.
Branstad is returning from a 10-day trade mission to Europe on Monday. After that, he will have spent at least part of 98 days in the previous 413 days outside of Iowa.
Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds also travels extensively, has led a trade mission to Southeast Asia and twice visited Germany.
Brandstad's spokesman Tim Albrecht says face-to-face meetings are important and help the governor lure new businesses to Iowa.
Branstad's travel schedule is similar to previous governors.
