With small cars selling like hotcakes due to high gas prices, many industry analysts are wondering if Mercedes-Benz<\/a> will release a model to compete with small luxury cars like the Audi<\/a> A3, Volkswagen<\/a> GTI and BMW<\/a> 1-Series. Now that the company has released the first images of its revamped A-Class, the answer just may be here.<\/p>\n

The current version of the A-Class isn't available in the U.S., and Mercedes has not made an official announcement regarding the car's future availability in America. However, with the concept version of the vehicle slated to be shown off at the upcoming New York Auto Show, it's a safe bet that the German automaker is at the very least considering releasing the model in the U.S.<\/p>\n

As with most concepts, the current design has some exaggerations that won't be present on the final model. Perhaps most notably, the grille is made up of silver hexagons that the automaker says evokes "a star-filled sky." That said, the concept is different enough from the current version of the A-Class that analysts are expecting a major exterior redesign for the model. Mercedes has also confirmed that the vehicle will be powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 210 horsepower, which puts it right inline with the aforementioned rivals.<\/p>\n

Drivers in the market for a small luxury car might be interested in the used Audis and BMWs available at New Jersey State Auto<\/a> Auction, as the A-Class is likely still a year or more away from showrooms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
