The shade of this Mercedes should be a lipstick colour because I want to kiss it all day long.

Heck, I would kiss the CLA 250 no matter what colour it was and that’s not overstating things one bit.

This thing is a monster. Huge. Garry says it’s proportioned like an off-shore race boat, only backward.

The sticking point is not whether hyundai can sell cars costing $50,000 or more. It’s whether the car in question is worth $50,000.

I get the call that he’s going to be way late.

World record holder Garry Sowerby is all about beating the clock, but today he’s an hour behind to drop off the test car. And here’s why.
