Looks neat, will check it out to see if merc can do well with front wheel drive. dbg Fortuner is the most overrated useless vehicle i ever driven,it should never be compared to any European vehicles, i think Honda jazz has better front seat and feels more roomier then a fortuner, the interior looks worse than a hyundai and the ride and handling is just like driving a tata 407.
Brief update. The A250 sells here (250 BHP, 8 speed gearbox), and I looove it. Probably the only Merc sedan/hatch that I can think of buying. Other than the G-wagen or the GLK
