New addition to the garage

Wify needed a new SUV ... so I figured ... the GLA45 AMG should fit the bill ... right?

Funny you say that as those are the exact two vehicles my wife has been eyeing up for her next.
Although the pricing comment is accurate I find the Benz miles ahead in styling when you see them in person. The Volvo looks almost the same as her Mitsu RVR GT that we have now. Just flip the grill 180 on either and they are very similar in front or side views.

Is it the norm now to brag about (expensive) new toys to a bunch of strangers on the internet?
