Looks like the CLA's US volume took a huge hit once the new A3 sedan was ready to go tete a tete...

Will be interesting to see if the Q3 will enjoy the same success over the GLA once they are selling in the US.

I think that it is quite possible. I think that Audi styling fits better with these small cars than Mercedes styling does. Plus, the CLA was all style and no substance.

I can see it happening, but then again we really need to see what happens with real world sales and what actually happens in the end.

^^^ you don't say?

I do think that the GLA is going to be a better product than the CLA though. Hard to say before it comes out, but that's just the impression that I get.

a little on the biased side but ive never been a fan of mercedes. my sister had a 190e in the early days and let me tell you the thing was built like a tank but that was 20 years ago. the cars they make today are nothing liek they use to be. cheap parts poorly made. the cla is just for those who cant afford the higen end models. so what? buy a cheap vehicle just so you can say yo own a benz. nice.
