Sigh... my local Merc dealership, one in Colchester, Essex, have been cagey with release dates, too.
They know very little about this model, convinced I was talking about the new A-Class, when I mentioned the CLA. Didn't exactly fill me with confidence.
I've taken the pre-release brochure away, but it doesn't contain pricing. Nor does it seem to contain the option for the beautiful neon-yellow stitching interior, I've seen available to German buyers.
Also, and I'm sure this has been mentioned many times before, when will we see the Configurator working on the UK site?! I can use Google translate to make the .DE, .FR and .BE sites readable... but model lines, engines and options/packs differ greatly.
I really do hope the CLA arrives soon. I need to replace my car and I'd rather not go Audi A5 sportback/A7 if I can avoid it. I've decided on a 5-door coupé.. just hope it's the CLA.
