FWD matters to you (and me), it doesn't matter much for the whole market. And money talks, too. The CLA is only marginally smaller than the 3, it may not compete "point-to-point", but it does compete for $6k less, and that makes buyer think a lot on -if- they need the marginal extra room. Beside, the 2 still doesn't exist (and will not before next year, at least), and the 1 is completely beyond the comparison with the CLA. It is my impression that the 320i is filling the gap before the arrival of the 228 grand coupe or whatever it's gonna be called.
