Pass. Proportions aren't right and it's got a look that seems like it will age poorly.

2014 S Class. Yes please. This crappy front drive Hyundai looking melted bar of soap. No thank you.

The fact that they didn't do a better job incorporating the nav in the dash I find annoying. Definitely looks like an after thought.

I wish Americans bought hatchbacks, because I would love for Mercedes to have a reason to bring the A-class here. They can't make enough of those things in Europe.

Audi makes a pretty sweet hatchback that you see all over UK. I have yet to see one in the states.

Apparently you've never ridden in a large sedan. Mine is extremely comfortable, handles great and fricking flies.

Another car with an extremely ugly back end. Looks like a constipated dog from behind.

The A1. Great little car.



A1 MTM. Better little car. MTM take the turbo'd 2.5L 5-cyl out of a TTRS and turn the wick up to 500 hp. In that little car.

Wait until you see the new Audi A3 dash. They just slapped a screen on it worse than this.

On the continent, you see the A3 much more than the Mercedes A class, as well. Much more.

Those air vents are hideous.

Think that's a retro look. My best friends parents had a diesel MB (E class probably) in the early/mid 80s and IIRC it had the same kind of vents.

His parents also had what I think was the first or 2nd generation 7 Series BMW (735i as I recall). Used to love riding in that thing. Like a freaking spaceship with all the buttons.
