The CLA is FWD (as far as I understand) so a RWD BMW in the same segment will definitely appeal to hard-core RWD buyers...
One other thing I don't like about the CLA...
The navigation looks like a total after-thought, like someone poped a Tom-Tom on the dash... Please, BMW, make the 2er dash look something similar to all of the other cars and we'll be on track to order me an Alpine White (or Imola Red if available, probably not) 2017 M2 loaded to the roof in options...
