New W176 A-Class in the metal

See pictures below of a fairly standard version, doesn't look bad. Anyone else thinking about buying one?

Sad to say this as a long time BMW fan, but that looks better than the new 1 series tbh...

Thanks for the pictures.

I think it looks good, if a little uninspired at the rear. Although the media screen still looks like an afterthought, wouldn't be so bad if it retracted.

Wasn't expecting that! I like it a lot, I think these have the potential to sell very well indeed.

There's one of these at MB World Brooklands. For me, its an attractive well resolved design, but one that could quite easily have a Vauxhall or Toyota badge on it. It's lost all the uniqueness of the previous 2 generations of A-class.


It will sell by the bucketload I'm sure!

From the outside maybe, but that shot in through the window makes it look like a class leader in terms of interior - no mistaking it for a Vauxhall or Toyota interior!

Having sat in a new b-class, I found the quality of the interior of that was mixed: nice steering wheel and paddles, but other parts of it were very plasticky and horrid. Im sure the A-class will be similar.

I had a good look round one at MB head office in the week, I was pleasantly surprised, the interior looked and felt great.

I'm looking forward to the 3 door 4wd AMG version being released!
