We basically knew this was coming, but now we can say for certain there’ll be an AMG version of the new A-Class. At first that might not seem that exciting. Small cars from Mercedes have traditionally been anything but exciting. We thought the AMG version would be little more than another euro hot hatch. That […] More »
