I-LOVE-CARS 1st Gear February 17, 2013 Share February 17, 2013 Nice and sporty looking Merc, especially the lights. Best part only cost 29,900! You will never get the price in SG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiadaw 6th Gear February 17, 2013 Share February 17, 2013 (edited) If you guys love German cars, you can go to www.autobild.de, they always have first or exclusive information & images of the lastest German cars. The magazine of teh same name are also very good, with exclusive images & interviews, comparison tests, car mechanic stuff etc, & cheap also, just that its not available in SG, & also being in German. I always love the U.K car magazines, (like EVO, Top gear) & car reviews from Uk sources, like EVOTV, carbuyer, Autocar, etc with great reviewer like Chris Harris, Matt, Steve Sutcliffe (if I find a car review say on youtube, & its American, I will skip, with one exception) , unforunately, EVO & other U.K car mags are not available where I live..

ER-3682 Twincharged February 17, 2013 Share February 17, 2013 Buying a Mercedes with Front wheel drive.??Must be kidding.! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiadaw 6th Gear February 17, 2013 Share February 17, 2013 Buying a Mercedes with Front wheel drive.??Must be kidding.! A lot of people have no problem with buying an Audi with FWD also. Within the limit of traction, there is actually not much differences between front wheel drive, RWD, & AWD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throttle2 Supersonic February 20, 2013 Share February 20, 2013 They got me in their grips liao. Am in love with the A45 AMG :wub: Agreed, its a beauty.... But like i say, it dilutes the brand somehow.... mercys are meant to be big in size, at least in my mind and heart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some parts of the world, smaller cars make more sense, & people who need smaller car also may want some luxury, refinement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damienic 5th Gear February 20, 2013 Share February 20, 2013 A lot of people have no problem with buying an Audi with FWD also. Within the limit of traction, there is actually not much differences between front wheel drive, RWD, & AWD. Cos normally RWD are seen as more expensive and more exclusive than a FWD. So people feel they are not getting the value there for a merc at such a price (I mean it should cost higher than a C Class right?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttle2 Supersonic February 20, 2013 Share February 20, 2013 In some parts of the world, smaller cars make more sense, & people who need smaller car also may want some luxury, refinement. Totally dont deny that, in fact i understand. But thats where a brand, a company, its values and principles are challenged versus economic values. Perhaps extreme as an analogy but imagine a 2.5 liter rolls royce hatch back..... (Not saying that it will not happen in future) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damienic 5th Gear February 21, 2013 Share February 21, 2013 Size smaller than C, FWD, features would lower etc. Looking at such type of shape, would be a bit weird if smaller than C Class. C Class cabin space already not that fantastic to begin with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Class cabin space already not that fantastic to begin with. I also feel that the size should be bigger than C for the shape. But somehow, it is believed to be placed between C and B. If it is bigger than C, features would be comproised apart from FWD! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
