Merc's interiors look flashy at first due to those screens but I think it's lazy design. There's too much emphasis on tech in the cabin. I like how Bentley and Bugatti have chosen to minimize the amount of visible tech in their interiors and focus more on design and craftsmanship. BMW and Audi interiors offer a nice balance.

I know I'm gonna catch it for saying this but I'd rather have the 2020 JCW clubman.

In that segment, my money is on this new 2er, FWD and all.

FWD BMW is not inherently a bad thing, some cheap option (by German or especially BMW standard)
Guess if I was to shop this I would compare a full loaded M235i to say light loaded 330i? |

I hate this car. The 2 Series coupe and convertible are good. BMW purposely makes this look bad so as to not eat the lunch of the 3 and 4 series. The Mercedes CLA is no different (Audi A3 is ok). Why can't they just make smaller versions of the bread and butter cars and let size of the vehicle dictate who buys it? Instead they make them worse. I don't get it.

The original overseas RWD 1-Series was expensive to manufacture and the interior packaging was not ideal because it was RWD. Most buyers in that segment are not terribly concerned as to where the drive wheels are. Their priorities are interior layout, price, etc. Enter this car, Mercedes A220, Audi A3. All of these are FWD entry level models. This is what this segment wants. If you so desire a compact RWD new BMW, your local dealer will be happy to put you behind the wheel of a 230i, 240i or M2.

BMW gave Toyota the Z4 platform to build the Supra, and, in return, Toyota gave BMW the Corolla platform to build this abomination.

Just want to know why it had to look like this? Sure make it FWD, but why does it have to look so bland and generic!?
