A3 outselling CLA 2:1

I am not sure what MB can do to change the CLA. For one thing, that bolted-on look nav screen that they are bringing to the W205 as well, MB better rethink that design fast.

Dealers are only getting like 5 CLAs a month and some dealers even less. The only problem with the CLA is MB can't produce enough to give. I ordered mine in December and just got it 2 days ago. The wait is ridiculous and it is hurting MB. Check around the country and dealers don't have any on their lots.

The two closest dealers to me - one has 20 in stock, one has 12.

Did you ever stop to think MBUSA is slowing delivery/holding cars to try and boost the demand that isn't there? Simple economics of supply and demand. Just a thought.

I have just seen the 2015 A3 sedan for the first time and it is very nice inside and outside. The center stack screen design needs to be reconsidered.
