As I understand it, most of the motivation for the CLA was CAFE. They need smaller, more efficient cars. Sure, Mercedes has Smart but those things barely sell.
Cadillac doesn't need to resort to such things, since they get lumped in with Chevy, Buick, and GMC for CAFE (afterall, the C does stand for Corporate). So for Caddy, its more of an issue of wanting to play in that segment rather than needing to.
