      This is the 210 horsepower turbo 4 cylinder concept A-class, and we love it. The styling is aggressive and futuristic. The drivetrain choices are great with a turbo 4 and a dual clutch transmission. The thing looks like it should be much higher than just an entry level Mercedes. Will they actually build it? We don't doubt an A-class will come, but it should look exactly like this.

        It has a tablet for the instrument panel? Dials look funky in my opinion. I like that you can stick your iPhone in some random slot and have music for your ride.

        that is one sexy hatchback. especially from mercedes benz!!!!! wowowowowow. just freakin sexy. I hope they make this mod friendly with a manual tranny. the c300 sports come with manual but not the 350 or others they need to do the opposite. big engine with lots of power needs an option for a manual. nobodys gonna buy a c300 manual WTF is the point of that.

        sorry just had to vent. Great car, looking for more info and pics!

        I doubt the real thing will be like this, which means good chance for a manual just not a good chance for the same motor necessarily.

        Love the body. Not so much the interior or the ridiculous Holstein luggage.

        It's a concept, they have to do that stuff to be "artsy" and show off.

        I like the iPad glued on the dash.
        Weird--I won't be buying one, but it's cool, I guess.
        You know the interior won't look anything like that--it'll be all plastic and black.
