    Default Mercedes Benz A-Class pics

    I remember reading about an A-Class that never happened about 10 years ago. Well, I guess it's here now.

    Cool alternative to A3 and 1 Series. I'd like to see one in person, not sure about the back.

    The A class has been around for a while, just not in North America. Doubt we'll get this one either.

    There will be an A25 AMG. 350hp AWD 7 Speed DSG. Targeting the RS3.

    Not really feeling this, maybe an AMG package will help.

    The front end needs to be toned down as it's too large and prominent for such a small car. It's a same that Americans hate hatches and small cars as I could see that car selling pretty well in Canada to all the baller wannabes and a German alternative to the A3.

    If the AMG A25 came to North America I'd buy it, would be a fun little everyday car I think. This thing is leaps and bounds nicer than it's predecessor.

    It's not targetting the sub $20k cars. It's targetting the Audi A3. The base A class is already selling in Europe at $20k.

    Like the A3, the North American versions will have much bigger motors, and priced higher.

    I don't think there's anything like the B-Series; closest is probably Mazda 5 which still isn't Luxury class.

    The B series has what feels like twice the room as the A3. Definately not same class. I haven't really found anything like the B. The rear seating is so roomy. Only Maybachs and R classes have more rear legroom in the Mercedes lineup.

    The B isn't "luxurious". Just because it has a Mercedes symbol on the front doesn't automatically make it more luxurious than other cars in its segment. It's a comfy car, with good creature comforts, and a solid feel. There's no leather, just a vinyl interior that kinds feels like leather a little bit.

    The A class would be the same.

    The non-adjustable head restraint part of the seat looks so uncomfortable.
