Ia m thinking about this (although also thing 2014 Mk VII VW GTI for thousands less). I like the look of this but haven't seen one yet or driven one...but I will.

I priced out a CLA250 with the AMG package at 33K, which after a few discussions, the fleet manager at my local dealer stated he would match. Perhaps there will be plenty of greedy dealers out there, but not most as Edmunds implies.

I'm excited about this car. It could be a great little car, fast, comfy and economical with a touch of prestige that makes us all feel like valued human beings. Unfortunately my current car is a 2012 so can't consider replacing it for another few years.
