We don't have the A-class in the US, but I have seen them here.   I think they are sold in Canada...or maybe Mexico.    Have fun and keep the shiny side up!   :cheers:

The A class isn't available in NA at all, you've probably seen the B class.  It looks very similar and is available in Canada.

Jay, that's a pretty nifty little car.  I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one to run around town in and the diesels are supposed to get excellent mileage.

thats a cool little car.  I wish we could get some of the small cars from across the pond here in the states.

I'd love a cool little car like that! A Benz no less.

Same here, a Benz for that price is what in US?  Either way, it is a Benz even if you can pick it up and play with it.

So it has ESP? Good for you, A's are easily prone to roll over. :icon_mrgreen:

Just kidding, enjoy :thumb:

They should make an AMG A and drop the 2.3l Kompressor engine in there.
