I would think the Caddy feels more genuinely an "American-Type of luxury - in other words, a legit mid-luxury car. The Merc I think would feel like a cheaper version of a full luxury car - versus a whole-hearted mid luxury vehicle, I DUNNO SH*T though. I am guessing.
I know Caddy is trying to change up their audience - going younger and more aggressive on the styling, etc, but can I really see myself in a caddy?
If we care to consider people's opinions, you have two options:
The Caddy is an old people car trying to be young. It's a boring American car, built to be comfortable, and faux-luxury.
The CLA is the cheapy benz for people who can't afford a "Real Benz."
If it only matters to you how the car feels, then be patient, try both, and make an informed decision then. My .02 cents.
