You even confused yourself because you said of the vehicle you called the X2 M vs. the GLA45 - "I'd forecast the cars will be pretty comparable.". That's only true if you also think, for example, an X3 M40i and GLC63 are "pretty comparable". However, I am pretty sure you know they are not.
And you reckon HE was confusing people!!!

BMW are introducing way too many new nomenclatures for their increasing model ranges and it's bound to confuse people! Apparently the 340i will become M340i with the G20, which I'm sure is just an excuse for them to charge more!! Talk about watering down the 'M' badge!!
