If it's based on the A-Class platform, it should be built in the same plant. Looks like it'll be in Rastatt Germany.That's a good question. I don't know
The A-Class will join its platform-mate B-Class and a forthcoming crossover model at Rastatt. While we've heard plenty of rumors about this crossover, we hope that Daimler's announcement today that it will be the next product sharing the Rastatt line should lead to some more official information about the new model allegedly dubbed "GLA." Daimler sunk some €1.2 billion (nearly $1.5 billion) into the plant to produce the trio of compact vehicles.
Awesome, glad you confirmed and it's in a place you are happy with
I may get burned for saying this, but here goes:
I've only owned 5 cars in my life:
1) 1980 Jetta. Made in Germany. Great car that lasted for 300,000km
2) 1992 Honda Civic. Made in Japan. Great car, 1 recall that lasted for 280,000km
3) 1999 Saturn SL. Made in USA. Not so great, lots of recalls that lasted 2 years. Brought back at the end of the lease.
4) 2002 Acura EL. Made in Canada. The worst car I've owned. Traded it in for...
5) 2003 Mercedes C-Class. Made in Germany. The best car I've owned. No recalls and going great at 225,000km.
Now, I know this is totally subjective to what I've experienced and that both the US and Canada make great cars, but like I said, it's my experiences and I want the CLA to be built in Germany, which it will be.
Be gentle everyone.

Hey, your opinion is your opinion. Looks like you've held onto your vehicles for a while which is great, you've had good use out of them.
I buy and sell cars like underwear it seems. Probably have owned over 30 easily in my life

Interesting. Looks like we'll have to wait to see the official word from Mercedes, but that article makes it sound like it's not in Germany, but other reports and Mercedes Canada says it's in Germany.

I've read that as well, but I also read that it's going to be built in India as well. Perhaps, they're building it in various plants for different areas. India for the Asian market, Hungary for Europe and Germany for North America (or visa versa for Europe or North America).
