Now, I would tend to favor the RS3 if I had a choice, and we'll see which one is favored by the press once the reviews are out, but $10k more seems like a huge ask. I didn't compare standard equipment so I am not sure how that compares between the two. But even if the CLA45 has considerably less standard, for those who tend to want as few extras as possible, starting out $10k lower and being able to add what you want is a definite advantage.
Where are you coming up with 10 grand?? The CLA45 starts at 50K. This is estimated to start between 53-55K. And the RS3 comes with more power and an I5 rather than I4. Seems well worth it to me.
