I am not convinced the low-budget CLA will bear the same dependability the E-class, CLS, S, etc does but time will tell.
Having lived the data for years, for every GM car that did well there seemed to always be a laggard at the back of the pack.

So while everyone was picking on MB as whole, and you are correct we can't know how a new model will fare, how does the company as a whole do. That was my only point.
