2012 Mercedes-Benz CLA: “Baby” CLS Based on the A-Class

In it latest issue, German car magazine Autozeitung supports that one of the four distinct models that will replace the current A and B-Class in Mercedes-Benz’ compact car line-up (read more here) will be a four-door coupe named CLA. As you can see in the scanned picture above, Autozeitung’s artists came up with a CGI (computer generated image) to give us an idea of how a “baby” CLS model could look like. -Continued

While it is certain that Mercedes-Benz will abandon the costly sandwich structure of the A and B-Class in all four derivatives of its new compact car line-up, it remains unclear whether the German luxury carmaker will continue to use a front-wheel-drive set up or if it will opt for a rear-wheel-drive platform.

    Looks crap...

    Clearly a photoshop of the Ford Verve concept...

    Here's hoping for RWD or at least AWD with at least 60% at the rear wheels. Here in the US, FWD Mercedes products have been awful in every way you can think of.

    I can't say I'm sorry for the A and B class models. I did not find them attractive, and i always thought of them as Mercedes replacements and not the real deal. Hope that future cars in those segments will have proper RWD.
