...i do hope your joking

The CLA that is FWD and has 200 hp costs sub 30k (more around 36k with basic packages).
The CLA45 AMG AWD 360 hp cost 48k (around 52k with basic packages).

A 228i (what US will get) Will be RWD and have 240 hp and should cost to similar current 128, so around 32k to begin (38k with packages?).

A M235i, while not as potent as a CLA45 AMG, should also cost about a good 6k less than it (I'm saying it will start at 42k, but we have no official figures for any car).

If a 220 comes to the USA, expect that to cost sub 30k, have 218 hp, and that more or less "competes" with the CLA250.
