That ordering guide should help you, mine priced out to just under 40K and any Benz dealer would likely very much want to help you
. As far as comparision to the other brands u listed. Id spend some time on their sites and compare the CLA based on $ and product segment, CA being entry level. If you get anything else you will not have a Benz 
Hi all -
I just joined the forum today and learning about the new CLA. I have the following questions if anyone has time to respond:
Which models from BMW, Audi, Lexus, Infinity, Accura does the CLA most compare to?
Which dealer would you talk with in the Saint Louis, MO earea?
I know the "starting price" is $29,500; however, what can you reasonably expect to pay once typical options are added?
