Mercedes A-Class to Hit US Dealers in 2014

[AutoGuide.com]

The new Mercedes A-Class took a radical departure from the original model with its sleek and sporty looking lines, and will be on sale in the U.S. sometime in 2014.

A redesigned interior complements the new exterior look with an iPad like center console, and features such as downloadable iPhone apps that can be controlled through the Mercedes’ integrated infotainment system.

Three four-cylinder gasoline engines will be available on the car, offering 122 hp, 156 hp and 211 hp. Sitting on the MFA platform, the A-Class will also receive a GT mpv style variant and possibly a small crossover style option.

Although it was not confirmed for America at first, the A-Class will come in 2014, and offer some competition for other small luxury vehicles.

I don't know about you guys, but I would really like to see a Mercedes-Benz A63 AMG.

Nice

As an American living here in Germany, I can tell you these are very nice cars, the B models are even nicer. It has always been a pleasure to rent one or to ride with someone who owns either of the two models. It has always disappointed me that they were not available in US specs.
I know what my next new car will be.

I don't think it'd be wise to fit the AMG 6.3 into a front-wheel drive setup...

... but on the looks front it does impress!

Any suggestions for good A-class car mats? I'm considering these Mercedes car mats

Anyone know why 2013 E350 BlueTec is being delayed until October. OUrs is built and on a boat, but just advised EPA is delaying until Mid October.

Understand, MB USA has built on stupid rich people who want to buy status.
The DO NOT CARE about us who are gear heads,
in fact I just took my 210 to Beverly Hills MB and they just wanted to f*** me and get me out the door.
They make ther money selling cars and unneed service at inflated prices.
As long as that works for them they will not change. They will not bring the full fleet to the USA, EVER,,,,

I now by my cars from a regular dealer in Germany then pay the 1200 us ti ship them back.

Why should I give an american dealer 30,000 extra just to kiss me and tell me how nice I look in tha mb I don't want.

I will write a check today for 2 B cars, but it aint happenin folks.
B
