I have more information on the new A class:

Official start is Sept. 15th in Germany, pre-orders in Germany can be made starting June 2012.

Most powerful model will be the A250 with 211 hp.

A45 AMG is due 2013 but pre-orders could start mid September or latest end of 2012.

Yes, A45 AMG, not A25 AMG. Smiley

Current power figure is 340 hp, turbo charged 4-cyl. engine and AWD is very likely. Price tag will be around 50k EUR (currently 48k EUR incl. VAT for the base car are apparently spoken for but this could change...).

Mercedes wants to make this car a success, it will be very competitive vs. the 1M and the Audi RS3.
