No idea about the AMG package yet.
I am not too concerned. You're right in your link, but that's just the regular CLA - I really, really, realy doubt Mercedes will skip the AMG version for Canada. It might take a bit longer, but I am in no hurry. I'm sure it will come

[edit] interesting. Reading the specs, if one were to assume a gain of about 15% of the CLA45 for AWD and "stuff" over the CLA250, then it would come out about 170 kgs heavier than my R. That's pretty crazy. The 335xi had a ptw ratio of 226 hp/ton, my R is going to be 210 hp/ton when my mods are done. Which means that if the numbers match up, it will have 210 hp/ton BEFORE any tuning. I guess the only problem is it's a pretty tiny engine, so the chances of it gaining 30-50% additional power like the N54 does are cockall. Oh well. Should still be a snappy vehicle.
