0-60 in 4.6 for the 1555 Kg CLA vs 0-60 in 5.0 for the 1530 kg M235...

Also of note... the Cayman will be coming out with a 4 cyl turbo....
The CLA 45 is a monster. No question about it, but looking at 0-60 times when one car is AWD and the other is RWD is a tough comparison. It's like looking only at 60' times at the drag strip. I have no doubt the CLA 45 will beat the M235i to 100 MPH as well, but we haven't event seen full specs on the M2 yet. I wouldn't bet on BMW leaving the CLA 45 out front on the instrumented tests.
