US Market to Get A & B
Front Wheel Drive Mercedes Model To Be Sold in US
Over the next few years, American customers will get to choose from the Mercedes B-Class (although not the B-Class E-Cell Plus extended range electric vehicle) compact, the A-Class subcompact and a new range of C-Class offerings, which will begin production in Tuscaloosa, AL in 2014. |
Hmm, If the A-Class is going to be sub-17k, I would consider it for my commuter.
|
Those vents look so incredibly cheap and gaudy. Rest of interior is bland. No thanks :-\
Edit: steering wheel looks nice though |
Most modern Mercedes interiors inspire narcolepsy, I've always thought of it as being an engineering element. Perhaps that's the reason for the "Attention Assist" system.

Looks more like a Pontiac Grand Am to me :( http://newpontiaccars.net/wp-content...or-300x189.jpg
I do see the connection to the R109 vents...still don't like them though. The design just looks old and outdated, the metal accents don't do anything for me. |

It's an entry level MB. Do you want them to be polished aluminum? I like the A and B. Hopefully they come with a nice 4 banger diesel.
|
To each his own, I guess it just doesn't work with me. I wonder how MB will fare in our market...seems like the toughest and most competitive area these days.

For example here is a competitor in that segment, the VW Jetta wagon:

THe MB seems over the top blingy, bulbous, and discontinuous. http://image.motortrend.com/f/350517...s-interior.jpg Edit: I should add...its not just the vents, its their placement and integration with the rest of the interior. Something just isn't right about them IMO |

http://image.motortrend.com/f/349177...hatch-open.jpg Those side lines didn't look good on the 3 and don't look good on the B either. Wow I'm a downer today lol...I just really do not like the styling of these cars, I DO hope it ushers in some great diesels though. |
