About the C-Class, a lot of people say it's more of a true Mercedes Benz than the CLA. I guess I can see what they mean, for starters it is a base RWD sedanI have confidence that the GLA and CLA will sell well.
The GLA might oversell the GLK and the CLA might oversell the C class. It is highly likely.
yep, I'm in that boat right there. But hey if people want to buy the GLA because it's a Mercedes theres pretty much nothing we can do about it. There was a TTAC article by Jack Baruth that compares BMW and Mercedes to 70's era Oldsmobile and Cadillac and what a downward trek they went on from there..About the C-Class, a lot of people say it's more of a true Mercedes Benz than the CLA.

I think if Mercedes secretely made the C class FWD it would still sell just as well. I don't really think people buy buy entry level C classes care if its FWD or RWD. It doesnt seem liek CLA buyers care. Most don't even know the difference.About the C-Class, a lot of people say it's more of a true Mercedes Benz than the CLA.

Thats true although majority dont know the difference but even if they did they would just argue front wheel drive would be safer and all.I think if Mercedes secretely made the C class FWD it would still sell just as well.

Seeing how it's no longer an entry-level sedan im not sure if that would fly. But With the way the industry is going there's no telling the future of the C-Class drivetrain, if it will always be RWD or eventually go to FWD.I think if Mercedes secretely made the C class FWD it would still sell just as well.

That is true, those people just want it for it's badge and the things you mentioned, most seen on roads are driven by the type of person that cares less about performance.Oh it'll stay RWD for the future. I was just saying that most C class buyers for Mercedes don't really care. At least for the C250.
The C350 and up yea I could see some buyers preferring RWD. But to be honest most C class buyers buy the car because its a Mercedes and because its a nice comfortable car. Not because its a front engine RWD sedan with a V6.
