September was the launch month for the Mercedes-Benz CLA on the American market and the model seems to have caught pretty much everyone off-guard.
Everyone, from the three-pointed star dealerships that didn't realize that there will be such a high demand for the cheapest Mercedes-Benz in the US lineup to the customers that didn't (and some still don't) on what scale to place the model.
Currently, the Mercedes-Benz CLA doesn't have a single direct competitor on the planet considering it sits in a niche that it actually invented, but there are lots of similarly-priced front-wheel drive sedans with premium or sub-premium features.
The peeps from The Car Connection decided to have a go a placing the CLA 250 against some competitors as well and they found the Buick Verano as being the best bet on the US market.
On the whole, the “baby CLS” pretty much wipes the floor with the Buick in most aspects, but there are some where the 'merican model isn't too shabby either, so you'll have to read The Car Connection's full comparison to get all the details.
