2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA vs 2018 Cadillac ATS
When people think of luxury cars, they think of powerful performance, advanced technology, and supreme comfort and control. Another thought that often flashes through minds at the mention of luxury cars is 'Very Expensive'. To be fair, this is often true, as the incredibly powerful specs and numerous high-tech features found in luxury cars do come at a significant increase in cost. However, that's not always the case.
Today, we'll be looking at 2 cars from luxury, high-class brands that have a starting MSRP of under $35,000! That's quite a deal and a lot of value from a car that still qualifies as a high-performance, luxury vehicle. So, what could those luxury cars be? It's the 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA coupe vs the 2018 Cadillac ATS sedan.
