A stretched version of the Mercedes CLA is being developed for the China car market. The Beijing-Benz joint venture will handle production, beginning in 2015. Until then, the CLA will be imported to China later this year with more details and pricing are to be revealed at the Guangzhou Auto Show in November.
Also, a CLA test car was seen on the back of a truck in Shanghai:

I would imagine that people in China would generally have smaller cars than people in the US, so i am surprised that they are stretching out the CLA for the Chinese market. I also would imagine that finding a parking spot is already hard in Chinese cities, so I'm not sure why you would want any larger vehicle.

Any ideas on why they would stretch out the CLA for the Chinese market?
