Mercedes announced that they have received 30,000 orders for the new 2014 S-Class in just 90 days. Not too shabby.

The dealers around here are trying like mad to sell the new CLA, and from what I have heard, not getting too much traction...

...even though they are "V A L U E Priced from just $29,900 !!!!!" per the radio ads around here
