CLS and the A320 would be a match made in heaven!
The A320 is by nature a very simple aircraft to fly. Thus by principle CLS would undoubtedly develop a brilliant A320 simulation, as they tend to offer easy-to-fly re-inditions of aircraft.
From my standpoint I'd say that the reason they don't is most likely that three other developers are offering an A320 simulation. These are Wilco/FeelThere, AirlinerXP and Airsimmer. Though the Wilco version is the only production currently for sale, the other two have entered Beta testing. The Wilco version - despite service packs - is still remarkably buggy and sometimes doesn't "feel" or "perform" as you'd expect a real A320 to, so it suffers on realism despite promising functionality. My main gripe with it is that thrust-limiters don't seem to work properly with AT engaged. The other two versions look better (from pictures I've seen) and claim to offer unparalleled functionality, which is pretty high to live up to.
Considering that CLS don't offer as much sophistication and complexity of systems, it is probable that they wouldn't be able to compete effectively with the other two manufacturers - most people would choose to buy an A320 that's harder to fly but offers more in the way of systems.
