I'd rather have the A class

It looks like an Acura skinned a C class' face and then wore it.

Love South Florida CLA drivers. They buy the absolute cheapest Mercedes Benz for sale in the United States and immediately start flexing on the streets and on social media.
I’m happy for them - now they’re going to actually be getting Mercedes Benz interiors |

Really intrigued by the A class as well. We're looking at replacing my wife's A3 and she really prefers the hatchback form factor. Not a lot of options and Mercedes appears to have hit a home run with the new A class.
The CLA is just kind of meh. |

When the CLA first came out I wasn't a fan and still feel the same about its styling. I will say that after driving it as a rental I was surprisingly impressed for an entry level MB.

Just because someone drives a relatively inexpensive Benz or BMW doesn't make him a poser. Dressing the car up as something else is different (e.g., sticking M3 badges on a 320i). I personally find the Mercedes commercials offputting and offensive. "The best or nothing". So if someone can't afford a Mercedes, they should walk, take the bus or hitchhike? Heck, in much of the world, a 320i is not the bottom of the barrel. |

At least "The best or nothing" has (supposedly) deep historical precedent. It's a shortening of "The best or nothing at all", attributed to Gottlieb Daimler in the early 1900s ... and it refers to what the company aims to manufacture and offer to customers. It's a slogan about the company -- which is what a slogan should be about -- not its customers.

BMW aims to make the ultimate driving machine as well. Whether or not MB or BMW meet their goals is up to debate however.
