New Mercedes A-Class is “The Most Beautiful Car of the Year 2012″

The new Mercedes A-Class – perhaps set to become Mercedes’ most successful model ever – has been voted the most beautiful car of 2012.

Despite many moans about its design and its dynamics, the last version of the Mercedes A Class was a big sales success. But the new Mercedes A-Class, which debuted at Geneva 2012, looks set to eclipse its forbearer in sales, with over 100,000 orders in its first few months on sale.

Not only that, but the new A-Class looks to be a real challenge to cars like the BMW 1 Series (except for keen drivers) and the new Volvo V40, something the old A-Class wouldn’t have had a prayer of doing, despite being the favourite car for ‘er indoors whose hubby had a big Merc.

Now, to add to the accolades the new A-Class has already received from buyers, reviewers and award givers, the 2013 Mercedes A-Class has been voted “The Most Beautiful Car of the Year 2012″ by more than 100,000 car fans across 52 countries.

We’re not sure we agree, although the new A Class is a good looking car, but it’s hard to argue with such a diverse voting net (unlike the award the new A-Class received as Germany’s most beautiful car from Germany’s Auto Bild) who obviously feel Mercedes has got the new A-Class exactly right on the design front.

On this form, we can probably expect the new Mercedes CLA to grab the most beautiful award in 2013.
