Practical as the old baby was the above is a nice step forward.

It's a huge leap forward. Can't wait to see them here in the USA in person, looks great! I just wonder about pricing here in the USDM.. With a 6MT, I could see myself with a 5-door A hatch.

Matt. As with the 2014 C Class their is a hybrid in the wings as well as some hot ones.

Hope Tommy likes it more than a "Fit".

I'm not a fan of the aftermarket-looking screen, but that's my only beef. It should be better integrated. Wonder if it hides away in the dash?

Definitely looks a little bit like an afterthought, or something. Maybe it's the picture. Have to reserve the judgement until I see one in person, I guess.

C230 Sport Coup + 2006 W164 ML350 + 99 Ford Escort (What the heck, it gets 38 mpg!)
Is it coming to the US?
Already a plethora of cars with that look.
Mazda 3 and the new Veloster from Hyundai come to mind.
Ha, even Ferrari has a hatch now. though with a 12 cyl engine and room for 4.
Whats the world coming to?

Not feeling the rear.. other than that I think it looks pretty good.

Can't wait for the supposed AMG model of the A class. Seems like they're saying 2.0L turbocharged engine producing 320-350HP. Not sure how accurate this all is, though. Something to look forward to.

Between the pickups and SUVs and little boxes like this, the real cars are getting rarer and rarer. Well, not up in the $100K range, maybe.
