Can someone clarify - is the new A-Class FWD or RWD?

Its based around the B-Class platform so i'm guessing FWD. Shame they couldn't modify the C-Class platform to make it smaller and a true 1-Series rival.

FWD and therefore I don't find it very interesting.

My boss's 2003 SL55 had 518 hp ten years ago.

They've only managed to increase horsepower a whopping 46hp, but hey! 28 mpg?

Oddly, I think the A class actually looks better than the SL!!!
