Following up on my prior post, I just built a CLA 45AMG like we'd order, and its MSRP is $60,694. Hence far from a sub $25k market.
Amazingly Mercedes will allow you to buy the car without a sunroof (yeah!). I also just built an Audi A4 (S4 not on their site yet), and it came out to $46k, so I'm guessing the S3 will be mid-upper $50k range.
