In a recent poll by Germany’s leading car magazine Auto Bild, the new 2013 Mercedes A Class has been voted by over 100,000 readers as the country’s most attractive vehicle. Quite an achievement for a car the comes from a family unstable, toppling losers! The new A-Class is good because it shares almost nothing with its predecessors.

This is the the fourth time in succession that a Mercedes Benz model wins Germany’s most attractive model award, which is hardly surprising, what with the way other German cars from BMW, VW and Audi look. The E-Class, the SLS and the new SLK Class are the previous winners of the prestigious award.

This year readers also awarded the M-Class with the title of most attractive SUV, which is interesting, given the fact that the ML still looks like a tall van. The new A-Class totally deserves its title though, as it is one of the best-looking hatchbacks we’ve seen in a long time.

The car has the proportions of the Golf, but it’s more dynamic. It has more passion and drama in it, and that makes it interesting. The car’s good looks are supported by a lineup of great engines and a long list of great features. The only problem is, the new A-Class is quite an expensive car.
