The L (long wheelbase) chassis lives!

Not exactly what I was expecting, but hey, one takes what one can get!

I wouldn't mind an A-Class, honestly -- I bet they get killer fuel economy, being so small.

I rented one in Scotland in May. Got about 40 mpg, but then I'm a leadfoot. In theory, they can get closer to 50 mpg. I will say the 7-speed transmission is sweet.

Don't count on seeing A- or B-class Benzes in the US anytime soon. MBUSA wants to maintain the Mercedes mystique as a luxury car, and I can assure you the A-class isn't. Frankly, I'd take a Renault Megane over the A-class.

Sarlat, France. Sorry to disappoint you if you thought it was in the US.
