| There is no denying that MB have a major overhaul of their sub-luxury planned. The change from C-class coupe to CLC marked the start of a new generation. I suspect that MB are planning on making the A-Class, B-Class and CLC into exciting cars similar to what BMW have done with the 1er. |

| I think the will transform the entire range in a new car like A3 and 1er, with even an AMG variant, as AMG said, they were doing a smaller engine. |

| Nice.... But i hate the character line at the bottom, too Insignia/Rolls-Royce in it, doesn't look good. Good thing that they ditched the Sandwich Concept, the car will look better, handle better and more importantly be much more comfortable and silent.

| What Merc designers have been rocking lately? Hyundai's hatch, i30's essence in a Merc's face is just unforgivable!

| I think we're getting way to far ahead here....the car pictured is obviously just a rough guess. Nothing more. Too early to start with the Hyundai nonsense. M
