I think the A-class only has an AMG body-kit and AMG rims but the engine is MB stock. I know there is a A210 that is "top of the line" right now. However, that one is not an AMG-product.

Yeah, the A210 Evolution is currently the top-line A-Class model. It is not an actual AMG model, but does come with the AMG bodykit standard.

I think this picture was taken last year and was just showing off the recent cars, not necessarily that model year.

Correct.

The 2002 CLK55 has wheels similar to the E55 in the pix, so the pix presents a 2001 AMG line-up with the "skimpy" AMG wheels on my favorite AMG, darn.

Also, the C32 does not have it's most noticeable feature, the dual spoke AMG wheels.

That is awesome; although it's only putting out 250hp.

Top speed of 143mph and 0-62 in 5.7 seconds.

What surprises me is what is the reason MB has to not release that car?

1) Exclusivity to Mika?
2) Not many people wud spend a lot for the A-CLass? ( But i think if that's their reason then it's not true cause you see so many A's done by Brabus and holy crap some dudes have A classes which equal to values almost of a base S320CDI/S320's Long and Shorts!
3) Difficult to service it at any regular MB dealer?
4) No boot space?

Or they havent got a twin engined car lol probably just put a engine cover on the boot and fooled Mika by telling him it's another engine..

Anyone ever seen a smoke show with a two engine car? It is incredible. They put the front engine in drive and the rear one in reverse and there is smoke everywhere! Very cool!

Atleast you have the A-Class; here in North America, nobody knows what the A-Class is. Most dealerships don't even know what the A-Class is, or any other model not offered to the USA such as the V-Class. My dealership did not even know what the Avantgarde, Classic, and Elegance versions were that are offered everywhere except the USA.

Do you mean the side blinker? It's required for all cars in the USA built after 1998 or something along those lines. A lot of people have bought the clear markers, though.
