2012 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Official Photos Leaked

Ten official photos of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz A-Class have hit the web slightly ahead of schedule and thanks to Belgian website Autofans, we can show them to you. We have been covering spy photos of the A-Class for some time now, so we are happy to report that the final production car looks as good as we were hoping. Part of its good looks are due in part to the C-pillars curvature which gives it a more coupe like back.

First glance mix of alfie, mazda, civic, peug, hyundai. But if AMG redesigns, maybe.. Does not have the mercedes individuality, imho

Does anyone know if the A-class will be available in the US? We're in the market for a compact hatch and would love to keep it in the family!

want it

I had an A class about 14 years ago. I can't WAIT to buy one now in the states. I'll buy this if it looks like these models. Today, I'm buying some DA stock.

I think the new A-Class looks great. The AMG will only be better (A25 AMG might be my next Mercedes).

The sad thing is, on the base car, the engines are too small.

The A Class (besides AMG) should have 1 engine in the United States...the same 1.8 liter turbo found in the C Class. Instead, it's going to have much less power.

The 1.8 turbo is almost weak in the C Class, but it would be awesome in the A Class. It would make an awesome commuter car. After all, the A3 in the US gets the same engine as the A4.

Instead, it's going to be pretty powerless it looks like. Very sad.

The AMG will be the A to have for me.

Very disappointed with the production version after comparing it to the concept shown previously. Very bland design and IMO it doesn't represent the brand as it should. Even in this segment and price range, if it has a Mercedes badge then it should still be a Mercedes.

Here's hoping that the 3 door AMG version will be a million times better, and they bring it to the US.

I think the car looks great as-is. Maybe because the old one is an ugly, lame duckling?

If those old rumors are true of an AMG version with AWD...sign me up.

mercedes benz CLS
My friend have this car, well in terms of performance it's good i guess they enhanced some benz parts. Im not bashing this car but for me it's kinda simple and im slight disappointed in this one. But this car is safe for travel why because it has attention assist and radar control collision prevention system.

Today watched the new A class by the dealer, its available here , the A250 AMG sport will be available end of the year. The normal A250 2L turbo ) is also available with 211hp and 350nm , 0-60 (mph) in 6.6 seconds with 7 speed DCT trans.
The AMG version has other ECU sw and another drive train.
Price starting at about EURO 47K .(A250 AMG )

Its a verry nice car, but over priced.
