The Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 is Not Understood by Vanity Fair

With at least 4-5 reviews per week in the last month, the Mercedes-Benz CLA has started to actually become a trend in online automotive journalism and not only.

Ever since it was launched at the end of September in the United States as well, the “baby CLS” has been a headline-maker.

First, there was news about its seemingly unbelievable low starting price, especially since it also made it the cheapest three-pointed star-wearing car in America.

Then came news about its official inclusion in the NACOTY (North American Car Of The Year) shortlist, while the EPA also gave the CLA 250 an official rating that is interesting to say the least.

After all of this came the hands-on reviews, with both automotive and non-automotive journalists sharing their opinions about the new model.

As expected, there are a lot of unnecessary praisers and a fair share of nay-sayers and chronic pessimists, who only see the cheapness in a cheap Mercedes-Benz. Such seems to be the case of Vanity Fair car columnist Brett Berk, who wrote a mostly lukewarm review of the CLA 250.
