I'm not sure if I should be giving kudos to the M235i for it's performance at the track with the lack of an LSD or criticize the performance of the CLA45 AMG and only being marginally quicker...

I'm in the minority when it comes to the exterior design of the CLA. It's not too bad and it has grown on me. Almost like a Pug dog. Soo ugly that it's cute. I just absolutely hate the "tack-on" COMAND Nav screen that looks like such an after-thought. Literally looks like at the last second the designers realized they forgot to include a screen and decided to plop it in the middle.

I don't care what BMW says. This M235i should have a DCT transmission. If the 135is could get it, I'm not sure why you would leave it out for the M235i. I get it. You have to leave enough performance room between the M235i and the M2.

I love Mercedes-Benz and my 5-years spent as an AMG Specialist for them was splendid but in order for the CLA45 AMG to be able to compete with the M2, AMG will have to come out with a hard-core Black Series version to stay on par.
