CITRON!!!

IS THAT CITRON !!!!! I HOPE YOU CAN GET IT ON THE A CLASS

FIXEDupW209 · 06-24-2004, 04:48 AM

damn that thing looks sweet. Such a better improvement over the older one. Its gonna be such a big hit in europe. Here in the united states, the average fat a$$ couldn't get one a$$ cheak in that thing.

gjlamb · 06-25-2004, 06:24 AM

All the press releases mention the new 5 and 6 speed gearboxes and the CVT but they don't mention if the manuals are clutchless like the current one. Does anyone know whether the new manuals will be clutchless again??

Greg

easydesign · 06-26-2004, 06:39 PM

Tha manuals are not clutchless (AKS). It was only available for extra money but they skipped it some time ago. But it was great, I had it in my A160 Avantgarde.

CitronC230K_03 · 06-27-2004, 08:05 PM

the new A-class looks great. i particularly like the roof panels!

CitronC230K_03 · 06-27-2004, 08:07 PM

no way that is citron. trust me when you see citron youll know.

gjlamb · 06-27-2004, 10:27 PM

Here in Australia the current manuals are still FunShift only. I love the funshift, hopefully they will carry it over to the W169.

HITMAN · 06-28-2004, 12:20 AM

HMM for some reason it looks like a citron or something close.....maybe its a little more yellow than citron

I love it! i really like that red one! Do you have anypics of the 5-door that we will be getting in the usa?

Oh and what is that on the side of the ship in the pic with the red one? LOL

easydesign · 06-29-2004, 04:26 PM

There is a picture of the 5-door on the first page of this thread

I know... Where are you finding all of the pics anyways?

easydesign · 06-29-2004, 04:40 PM

cool so this is prob some of the pics that mercedes will use when the car officially is released...neat

FInality · 06-29-2004, 04:59 PM

I like it but its too much off an evolution and not enough off a revolution. MB should have really done a better job to compete against something like the Mini Cooper.

HITMAN · 06-29-2004, 07:00 PM

Thats if mercedes could do revolution and not **** it up like bmw....

gjlamb · 06-29-2004, 07:35 PM

If the interior is not a revolution then not sure what is?? Problem with changing a shape too much is that it puts off all the current customers so your back to square one getting a piece of the market. I would like to see something a bit more funky on the outside but when you look at the majority of customers that buy A-Class, you can understand why MB didn't go too radical like BMW. Suppose its a case of MB learning from BMW mistakes or shortcomings like BMW learned from the MB M-Class??

Greg

S350L-E240 · 06-30-2004, 05:21 PM

this car is cute as hell man i want it as my pillow..

And nope they would not make it like the Mini cooper cause MB wants to market this car as a mini mpv thing, Also this body style adds more practical value .. Love it! Previous generation sold 1.1Million units ... This one should beat that by another 25 % atleast... Imagine a small car and Multikontour seats ...

07-15-2004, 09:27 PM

I think I like it

tuscanraider · 07-16-2004, 04:41 PM

Kind of ugly I think, I wouldn't pay more than 20K for it...loaded.

dave_88 · 08-04-2004, 05:50 AM

IMO, it kinda looks like a suzuki aerio in the rear.

Le Burpor · 08-09-2004, 01:55 AM

I like it. My wife drives the A-class now and I intend to get her the new one as a surprise, perhaps something more powerful than the A160

It's perfect for her as she's around 5'2" - 5'4". It's also easy for her load stuff into and is an ideal School Mom car.

No, that is not photoshop. No, the factory does not offer a targa-top version of the car. That crazy deck lid is not a factory option either. Never understimate the power of a skillful hand with a sawz-all, wedler and fiberglass!
