I would be incredibly surprised if the CLA can overcome the laws of physics. I really do get the "fwd is different these days" argument after driving an older overpowerd fwd car for years--but it's still nowhere close to rwd in any performance situation. And I'm not talking about a track, i mean stabbing the throttle in the rain, accelerating on an onramp, etc. Of course on a track it is also apparent. For many people, the point-and-shoot method of fwd In low traction situations works. I do not prefer it.

Maybe the CLA is made of magic, I dunno. I'm jus going off of my similarly powered, modern comparison that I DD'd for two years before trading it for high performance rwd...
