Latest News about the new A class merc which will share underpinnings with the new smart forfour:
http://wot.motortrend.com/mercedes-benz-beginning-development-bmw-megacity-competitor-21864.html"Mercedes' electric vehicle will reportedly follow in the MegaCity Vehicle's footprints,
using rear-wheel-drive with a rear-mounted drivetrain. It's believed that the small EV
will ride on the next-generation Smart ForFour underpinnings, which itself will use
Nissan's small V-platform."
To be honest I really do like the design of this new A class and I think dynamically its
much better looking than the old clumsy A class.
I certainly hope the new forfour will look more like this than that horrible snott green clay model...
