GLA Pricing Released in AU...Cheaper than CLA?
Take a look at the GLA pricing released for Australia here:
http://www.caradvice.com.au/270025/m...il-from-47900/
Seems like all models of the GLA are cheaper than the CLA, with the AMG version being 7k cheaper.
That is very interesting as I figured they would place the GLA as a slightly more expensive variant as its a bigger car than the CLA. I wonder if this pricing model will translate the same into the US Market.
So seems like they are marketing the GLA as the middle of the road between the A and CLA with the CLA being the "premium" product of the A lineup.

That is indeed very surprising. I seriously doubt that the GLA will be cheaper than the CLA here in the US though. The CLA is only $3k more than my Nissan. So I find it hard that MB would release a vehicle that is price competitive with an ordinary Nissan.
I will take a look at the GLA as a possible replacement for my Nissan Rogue so I would not mind at all if it was reasonable priced.

In Taiwan, the recently announced pricing on the GLA also is cheaper than the CLA. But the difference is the base GLA is the GLA200 while the base CLA is CLA220.
Difference is 1.85 Million NT for GLA200 vs 2.08 million NT for CLA220. (30NT = 1 USD, so GLA200 is approximately $62k USD, vs CLA220 @ $69k USD).
I'm hoping that trend continues in the US and the GLA250 is lower than the CLA250.
