although they can afford to cheap out, since people will still buy mercedes for the status that comes with one, i still hope build quality and longevity of the CLA is much like the rest of mercedes benz vehicles out at the moment or better.Even though this new 2014 Mercedes CLA is marketed as a 30,000$ vehicle, they didnt hold back on quality and being a dominant brand for luxury i cant see them cheaping out on it. The design of the new CLA is top notch, We know how much it is but to some this car looks like its worth much more than 30,000$
