Agreed.

A common problem that seems to be plaguing these smaller sporty cars is the awkward proportions. Like the MB CLA and the current 2 series.

I'm assuming their market research shows people in this demographic want more headroom, but wasn't that the point of separating the 1 series and the 2 series.

It's obvious when you see the 2 and the 4 next to each other, the 2 should've been the same height as the 4.
