The CLA and A/S/RS3 definitely fit in with their brand's lineup more.
I will say that the new CLA I had for a couple days had some major flaws: (1) creaking interior bits on the highway, (2) excess driver side wind noise, (3) fixed headrests.

I'm sure these won't be issues in the BMW.
Oh yeah, the CLA is still a cheaply built mercedes and is built at one of their worst plants, but based plainly on looks its a winner. I would still rather have a Civic or Mazda 3 than spending any sorts of big $$$ on these "entry-level" luxury cars.
