Mercedes CLA 45 AMG Pickup Is a Modern Chevrolet SSR - autoevolution

The Mercedes brand used to be synonymous with large sedans for dictators company, CEOs and Vegas casino owners. The A, CLA, GLA and CLA Shooting Brake were all launched in quick succession. You guys are looking at a rending of the CLA 45 AMG Pickup created by X-Tomi Design from Hungary. It's a simple idea executed with the help of the new Shooting Brake model. But manufactures are constantly looking for new ideas and niches to exploit. Plenty actually, most of them coming from American companies. There was the 1941 Chevrolet Coupe Pickup. But the best example of this is the Chevrolet SSR , which was also a hardtop convertible like the BMW 4 Series. If Mercedes manages to make something as cool as that and sell it to Americans and Australians for around $35,000, we bet plenty of people will want one. Source: www.autoevolution.com
