I mean... it is easier for MB to brush off a model like the CLA 250 as an experiment. While Cadillac might get labeled 'cheap' again... which took them a revolution to get over last time.

MB is walking a fine line there. Ultimately, the reason for the CLA is the same as the reason for the Cimarron 30 years ago. Whether or not there is a difference in the end depends on the execution.

So, the question becomes, how long will it take to break even on the price difference between that and a Versa, and will the batteries last half that long?
