A little bit of Ugly anyone?

I don't get the car... I certainly don't get the trend for floating ipad like nav screens... Do they not think that a thief is bound to walk by and think its removable? Smash goes the window...

Not sure I dislike it, but that line through the top of the door is messed up - should either go straight or not be there IMO. Not the prettiest though...

I thought these new tablet nav screens fold down and slide into the dash when not in use ?

 

[Maniac]

The BMW ones are fixed and it appears the Merc ones are the same... the Merc ones seem to just attach to the dash like someones bolted on an iPad.. very tempting to a thief who knows no better...

 

[Bing]

If that's the case, then I agree. Stoopid idea... And too much clutter.

I believe SARS will fall in love with it

Jembo,

Sorry do not love it, as it's not a convertible

The new B class has a similar screen and its fixed to the dash, looks a bit stupid in real life :thumbsdown:

I think it's a great looking car...it's meant to be a Junior CLS

 

[Maniac]

Difference is CLS looks good..

This car looks awsome in the flesh. The interior is nice too but I agree about the sat nav display, I don't understand why they do it like that and it is totally fixed in place.

On balance I prefer the new A-Class, it's got a nice aggressive hot hatch look to the rear, but if I had a small family and didn't want a big barge of a car like the 5 series sized cars are going, then this would do nicely.

I really like that. There again, I really like the M135i so make of that what you will. :?

I do like the exterior look but agree with the dash. If only they did something like these geniuses across the pond!

I really like it and I like to think in a few years I could afford one. Hoarse's for courses I guess. But I do agree on the tablet on the dash. It just looks aftermarket witch is fine. But not from the guys that build the cars?

Looks like somebody gave the Mercedes Styling Dept key to the Pussycat Dolls.

Pure german lovelyness !!

I like the new A-class - if only the A45 was available in manual...

not convinced by the saloon cla, guess it might look better in the flesh...

agree on the screen I time when factory fit nav may actually detract value...

I saw a white A class this morning on the way to work... had an AMG badge on the back with a duplex exhaust looked nice... quite a mean front too!

I like the new direction MB are heading in (styling wise)
