2008 Mercedes-Benz A-Class

Scanned from Autobild. This could be the 2008 A-Class facelift. Notice how the grille in this photoshop closely resembles the grille of the facelifted W211 E-Class.

Overall, this photoshop looks pretty good. The current A-Class is a fun car to drive.

Looks even worse.

IMO of course.

Front looks much better with the bigger lights and the grill appearing to be more upright and more in your face. Unfortunately, can't say I like the rear lights still.

Looks more sporty, I agree!

BTW, is the A class a sales success, I hardly see any of them, especially when I compare them to the 1er! (maybe I just block out MBs from my site!

)

hopefully it stays 2-door as shown in the pic
and keep the B-class a 4-door

the only thing i never became 100% convinced of in the current A-class is the rear, which they can;t really change too much in the facelift anyway. otherwise i think it's a great car, and from what i remember has been selling well.

anyone have some sales figures on it in europe?

It is a sales success in Europe, also in the UK. You can't judge a car sales success just by noting the number of them you see on the road though.

BTW, the A-Class and 1-Series don't compete.

The A-Class is available as a two door and also four door. The B-Class is only available as a four door.

Couldn't find any. AMS though mentioned about a year ago that the A and B-Classes were in high demand - more than the facelifted W203 C-Class.
