Few notes:

Coming from a LOADED C-class from 06, it is shocking (and kind of upsetting ) that the CLA will get all those driver's assist options. Do the current W204 C's get these options as well? I couldn't even pay MB to get a rearview camera!

The Edition One looks to have a manual transmission??

I haven't been able to find an official release date yet and my local dealer knows nothing about it.

Does the CLA come equipped with a true dual clutch transmission? If that's true, it's the only car in the MB range other than the SLS to have DCT.

Sept 2013 the CLA should be hitting the sales floor

Dude, that's a seven year difference. Most of those assists didn't even exist back then, or weren't made widely "desirable"

Seems like a standard equipment. My guess is all cars will eventually shift over to this DCT. I like!

ohhhh me like..... I'd be coming from a w203 too.... it'll be a big upgrade for me

Besides the A-class based interior, it will be an upgrade from the W204.
It could be a sign for a very promising and exciting W205 in the future...

True seven year difference, but keyless-go was an option in the top of the line cars since '03, just never trickled down to the W203. I think parking assist was available in non-US W203s?

Well if you add up all the add on`s the base model gets into the $40 grand range. I rember when the 2008 C -Class came out and P1 $1500 and sports pkg was like $1200.
