SPIED: FIRST Spy Photographs Of Mercedes-Benz's A-Class Snapped -- A3 & 1-Series Put On Alert

At the 2011 New York Auto Show, Mercedes-Benz introduced a daring new concept not-so-originally-named the Concept A-Class. Essentially, it appears to be an entry-level Mercedes that is aiming to take on the Audi A3 and BMW 1-Series.

Given that the last attempt at an entry-level Benz in the U.S. was the C230 Kompressor hatchback, it's nice to see the marque giving it another go 'round.

Since the Concept A-Class' debut, we haven't seen any prototypes running around until now, although, we did see an image that leaked from a patent office. This patent image provides a nice, detailed look at what we should expect and if you notice, the vehicle spied has the same window line.

That doesn't look like a coincidence to us.

With that said, we want to know:

Will Mercedes-Benz's A-Class have a shot against the other German competition?
