Zelik]I'm actually looking at getting the CLA 250. I'll probably wait until the '15 model rolls out.
I was looking at one of those too. I'm guessing your price range is around 35k? The CLA has the styling of the CLS and is slightly bigger than the C series believe it or not.. power and performance isn't anything special but you're paying for the emblem at that price range.
I'm trying to stick at or under 45k for now. I might go with the AMG version, CLA45 which starts right around 45 or 46. i'll test drive both to see which route i'd rather go.
The auto group i work for just acquired mercedes and bmw so i'm looking at some discounts

If i decide to stick with an SUV i would probably go for the Audi Q5, Cadi SRX, or the Infiniti Q70.
