Although Mercedes-Benz A-Class was considered a compact class from the first generation, Mercedes has a hatchback in the wide sense of the word. In fact, the first two generations have maintained the same city MPV silhouette accents premium design is quite subtle evolution in the 15 years after the onset of this game. In addition, A-Class has never had an exciting dynamic, especially if we consider the first generation that initially had problems of stability in extreme situations. Mercedes has corrected these deficiencies by introducing the standard equipment of ESP, but this strategy has led to further strangulation of dynamic performance.

It's damn hard. Almost impossible. It is so hard that no one manages to do so. But Honda had no choice. They had to replace a famous car, that was still well ahead of time, with a new version, in order to carry on the fame and glory. And when we say that "they had no choice", we do not mean the expiry of a product in the warehouse, because it is not the case, but to replace the models after a few years old.

Ford Shelby GT500CR 900S - The American Dream
To be honest, we're not biggest fans of classic American cars.
I always thought they are made with a minimum of attention in terms of driving dynamics, ergonomics, costs, quality materials and the list goes on. However, I am a fan of the 1970 Dodge Charger, especially if it is painted black and equipped with a big giant compressor. "Guilty Pleasure" like the american would say.
