I think the B-Class affected A-Class sales for the worse. If anything, the B-Class should be axed since the A-Class seems to have an established reputation and even cult following from what I am told. Can any Europeans confirm this (cult following)?

A cult for falling over, yes. :P

It doesn't have a following, it's known as a "Toy Mercedes", a plaything before you get a real one.
They should keep it under the Smart brand.

I think it is speculation, if they drop the A-class they will have a huge task to meet the emissions regulations in Europe even with the hybrid technology!! They need a smaller car or smaller engines in big cars and the last one is not really where i would put my money!!

I couldn't careless. This is about exciting as reading an article on Takeru Kobayashi "Hot Dog eating Champian", who is being questioned whether he is able to defend his title again after a surgery on his jaw and posibly cannot open his jaws wide enough to gorge approximately 55-60 fricken hotdogs shoving down his throat. I don't know which is more interesting to read about. Neither is. But that's just me of course.

Yes they are going to dump the A-class because our good friend Dieter Zetsche wants a small coupe instead.
