After our negative reaction to the Mercedes A-Class renderings recently, reports are that the new compact hatchback will borrow elements from the Mercedes F800 and Fascination Concept models. The concept models met with praise on their being presented and we can only assume this will be good news in the face of much doubt over Mercedes’ entrance into the compact hatch segment.
There’s no real indication as to which bits Mercedes will be borrowing, but given the overall style of the models in question, they should be able to put something together. We’re not sure whether it will be the coupé-sedan of the F800 Style concept or a chopped off wagon in the style of the Fascination Concept. The Mercedes A-Class should still prove to be something along the lines of a compact hatchback which will hopefully appear sometime later this year.
