Katshot and I went to go see Doom on saturday and we pulled up next to this weird black Benz that I've never seen before. It had the Benz crest on the back but no model designation on it. But here's a pic I took with my cell phone. Sorry if its not the best quality

See less See more

It will have to hit $6-8/gal before many Americans buy cars that size. By the time gas hits that we *should* be running some sort of alternative energy. I'll just replace all the rubber in my fuel system with vitron and run my ETC off E85.

Yeah, thast the reason people drive them in the UK. $8.80 a gallon here.........

I dont really like them, and there were fears over the cars stability that killed it before it was born, not too many of them here, but there are some about.

They drove the car through a slalom, and the results were disasterous.

The website is mostlyl in German, but this is the photograph that put buyers off getting this car

A Mercedes A-Class car bounces dangerously during a slalom test carried out by the German car magazine "Autobild" in Lemwerder near Bremen, northern Germany, 27 October. An example of the "Baby Benz" already rolled over while executing a tight bend during technical tests in Sweden earlier this month. Mercedes Bernz said 29 October in a press conference that it would put a new steering mechanism and new tires on its A-Class car following these reported failures in crucial security tests.
