^^ Now that's just stoopid. Looks like a bigger version of the original A-Class.
Lessons on how to devalue a brand 101.
Hey, they improved the A-class... they had to fuck up in another way.
Yes, but even though it's improved the A-Class is still a fuck up, the current M-Class is also a piece of shit and judging by the photos the next one wont be a big step forward, the current SLK is still a 'fill the gaps for the hairdressers' car, the E-Class has none of the grandeur that used to make it the execs choice and it's ageing very badly for such a recent car,
1.How is the A-Class a fuck up? This is how Clarkson wraps it up
Clarkson said:
Overall, though, I have to say that the A-class was very, very good. It drives and feels just like a much bigger Mercedes, and that brings me on to the only significant drawback. It?s also priced like a much bigger Mercedes.
Thats good coming from one of the harshest in the industry. Most other reviews are quite good about it aswell like the Fifth Gear one.
2. How could you judge the M-Class by its looks? The old one WAS a fuckup but this one is MUCH better. Look at what Carpoint says about it:
Carpoint said:
The second-generation M-Class is a massive improvement on the ML of old, combining styling flair with convincing performance, excellent on-road qualities, class-leading comfort, extended versatility and, at last, truly impressive quality. BMW's X5 may have defined the luxury-off-roader genre, but the lead in this significant category may be about to change.
3. Yeh the SLK is just in there for the architects, photographers, docters etc...but its a damn good car aswell.
4. Finally the E-Class. I can understand if you think its aged. Thats probly cos the design is so similar to the one it replaced. Also cos it can be a taxi in parts of Europe and Asia. But its still a really good executive car and is 2nd only to the 5Series in its drive. But in terms of prestige, good looks and elegance, the E-Class is way ahead. The A6 would be 2nd and the BMW 3rd IMHO. In fact, last year it sold more units in America than the 5'er - (45,584 : 58,954).
