IT'S not often you hear an automaker admit that one of its cars is the four-wheeled equivalent of Derek Zoolander.

In other words, it's the sort of machine automotive journalists love to hate. Yet it's also the sort of car other brands would kill to have since it excelled in attracting numerous first time buyers to Mercedes."Seventy per cent of CLA buyers were new customers to the brand," Mr Lesnik said. It also allows for more subtle approach to the details."Having better proportions means we could get rid of all the lines," Mr Lesnik said, in reference to the previous car's more obviously creased bodywork.

The suspension does likewise, rewarding an easy touch, but if you do insist on speed, the CLA now agrees more easily, the car's widened stance delivering plenty of stability during cornering, even if the steering feels as artificial as a fashion model's acting. As a member of Mercedes' revitalised small car range, the CLA is also aimed at younger audiences and the cabin's high-definition displays reflect that.
