I dunno. The CLA starts at sub 30k. If BMW is going to compete in this space, 42-43k starting will be unacceptable. Even if it has a pseudo-M badge.
The low end model, 220i or 228i, may be priced around CLA's starting range. But the CLA AMG is starting around 48K, and M235i is not designed to compete with the low end CLA models.
