Mercedes-Benz to finish manufacture of A-Class for new B-Class

Mercedes-Benz has announced that they are to stop manufacturing the compact A-Class so they can concentrate more on the upcoming B-Class. The A-Class or Baby Benz as it was nicknamed has sold 1.5 million of the model since its release in 2007.

The Mercedes-Benz B-Class is hoped to go into production by 2011, and is hoped to become more successful than the A-Class. When the A-Class first hit our streets the vehicle did not get off to a good start, as a car program in the UK managed to almost tip one over when they test drove it. This led to the A-Class being called back to have their suspension up-graded.
