Hi All: ___While perusing the net for News this morning and afternoon, I came a across some pics of the MB A-Class you may be interested in. Although I have already reported on the MB B-Class 150 and 170 series compacts, I thought a taste of what these things look like in the A-Class sized realm would be worthy of at least a look. The story was only slightly news worthy given the B-Class story above but the pics sure were nice. MB sure does have some lookers in the sub-compact A-class! MB A-Class ___Good Luck ___Wayne
Hi All: ___Although I doubt I will ever have the opportunity to own one of these, I just love the FIT like exterior and the luxurious interior of a MB all in the same vehicle Just another pic of the A-Class sized MB … MB A-Class A200 - 4-door this time. ___Good Luck ___Wayne
A-Class is a sweet looking car. Amazingly, I saw one parked on the street in my neighborhood a few months ago. It had Mexican plates, so apparently the A-Class is available in Mexico!
Hi Sean: ___I see a base price of €20,319 Euro’s. The base Prius-II and HCH-II in Germany costs €24,900 and €22,950 Euro’s respectively. I am sure a thousand or so more Euro’s for the 2.0L CDI? ___Good Luck ___Wayne
My family rented an A170 in August while we were in Switzerland. It did not have any luxury features North Americans would expect from a Mercedes-Benz, but then again it was a rental. The rear doors even had manual windows. The car did feel like it was well-built though. It was smooth, quiet, and felt very solid and stable, especially compared to the compact rentals we have here. Even with its 115 hp and 5-speed automatic, it did reasonably well when loaded down with 4 people and luggage. Cruising on the highway at 75 mph was a very nice 2300rpm, but a downshift was usually needed for most maneuvers that required accelerating. This was our car:
Hi Mike: ___I take it that was the petrol version? Any diesel rentals while you were there? ___Good Luck ___Wayne
Hi Wayne, it was the petrol version. I forget who we rented from, I think it was an American company such as Hertz, but their entire fleet at the Geneva airport was petrol. I did see a few diesel rentals from other companies, but the petrol versions still hugely outnumbered them.
Hi All, There is a A class that tools around the western 'burbs, and I got a good look at in when it was parked in a lot once. I have heard through various freinds that it belongs to a physicist out at Fermi Lab, who brought it over, as he is originally from central Europe. They are quite nice looking.
