And you're not going to find one for 30k. Most will be optioned out and would probably be in the mid to high 30's.
I don't agree with that statement. I'd rather have a cayman over a 911 and I'm sure I would prefer the new 2-series to the 3/4-series BMW.

The biggest problem with the CLA is the same problem the new BMW 1-series is going to have. It is fwd and they expect you to pay premium price for an inherently cheaper drive train. The only CLA i would consider would be the AMG, but with the car being a fwd car I'm sure the awd setup will be fwd biased.
