-They are both entry level cars from respective company - Both will start right at around 30k. With that regard, you better believe people will be cross shopping them.

I do not think the M235i would go against CLA45 AMG because they are not exact rivals, although I am sure the media will put them together.
The true CLA45AMG rival will be the M2 / M2 Gran Coupe. Because , well that's what it should be.

I also think the CLA will sell like hotcakes. Your average entry luxury car buyer usually just wants a luxury look from a luxury brand. Take a look at Acura. A rebadged civic and accord with xenons, and people came in waves to buy the TL. If MB prices it right, they will eat up the entry market.

Not sure if you guys have seen this, but a film maker friend of mine is doing a campaign for Mercedes-Benz about the CLA.
Not trying to hate or anything, I own an E90 M3.

One is a coupe and the other is a sedan. If a 2 series based sedan comes, or Gran Coupe, then it will warrant a comparison. This is like comparing a 4 series coupe to a MB C350 sedan. Not comparable. |

I actually really like the CLA. It has a really luxurious look to it. I think everything about it, including the curves and lines just make it a gorges car. That being said. I do have some mixed emotions about its rear. But overall i think it really is a gorges car. But i would still have to go with the bimmer. Mercedes are just to plush for me.

I don't know but anyone here agree with me that the headlights are exaggeratingly thin? This tendency was first applied to the new 3 series and then to the 5 series facelift and now the 2 series! Proportion wise, the headlights look too small compared to the air intakes of the spoiler bellow!
