Mercedes-Benz Cla Pics Leaked

[fred007]

It's a sure sign that the wait for the sexy small Mercedes-Benz sedan has been a long and arduous one – and especially for those unable to contain themselves.

Clearly derivative of the Concept Style Coupe from early last year, the new CLA carries over all of that car's swoops and sweeps and will slide into Mercedes-Benz Australia’s lineup later in the year beneath the C-Class sedan but above the A-Class.

“The most frequent response we got from the Concept Style Coupe was: Put it into production,” Mercedes-Benz Chairman, Dr Dieter Zetsche was quoted saying in the company's press material. “That’s precisely what we’re doing now.”

It’s a car Mercedes-Benz desperately needs, with its new A-Class being comprehensively pounded by the BMW 1-Series, the Audi A3 and even the new Volkswagen Golf in European comparison tests. To make the Benz’s need for the car even more urgent, Audi is about to reveal its own A3 sedan and BMW will have a sedan version of its 1-Series on sale in 2015.
