Mercedes Concept-A Video
We have the first video of the 2012 Mercedes A Class in Concept-A guise, both on the move and in the studio with Mercedes’ Mark Fetherston explaining its form.
We had the first proper details on the Mercedes Concept-A earlier this week, which points the way – as a slightly tamed-down version – to the 2012 Mercedes A-Class.
That Mercedes A Class will not just arrive as a hatch but will – in cojunction with the new Mercedes B-Class that will also utilise Mercedes new MFA platform – spawn models as diverse as a shooting brake, crossover, coupe and cabriolet.
It seems – with all the derivatives that appear to be planned – that Mercedes are looking to out-MINI MINI in the variations on a theme game. But if how the Mercedes Concept-A looks is a pointer to how good it is, they’ve got a flying start in the right diction.
For now, we’ve got a fair amount of detail on the Mercedes A-Concept. But what we haven’t until now is anything on the move or the Mercedes take on what they’re trying to achieve with the new A-Class.
So we’ve stitched together a couple of videos Mercedes sent us which show the Concept-A on the move (CGI, unfortunately) and Mercedes design bod Mark Fetherston (yes, he’s a Brit) explaining the Concept-A design.
As we said – it looks more than half decent.
