You are correct - no comparison. I was more thinking of how the 2 liter turbo in the CLA (208 HP) is quicker than the 268 HP V-6 in the Camry and gets a lot better mileage. Not a pony car but it’s deceptive in acceleration and how fast you’re going - of course you already know that in spades ;-)
I had a second-hand Volvo S90 back in college. It got rear ended at the back so the owner wanted to get rid of it. I had it fixed a bit cosmetically because it’s hard to get chicks if your car sucked. Same thing; 2 liter turbo and funny thing, the acceleration beat a Porsche S whom I raced after a party. Fast forward, I got a beater MB S class that belonged to a waiter who couldn’t fix a problem which i found out was replacing one sensor costing $30.
I only got into Volvos because my uncle owned a couple. He kept insisting I get a station wagon back in college. I asked him why do you keep nagging me about the station wagon. He told me “so you could get laid at the back, it’s roomy”. I guess he was speaking from experience.
