The Mercedes Car Group division of DaimlerChrysler is thinking about killing its small A-Class Mercedes model (do people really think of it as a luxury car?), as it mulls a replacement for its B-Class, according to a report in the German-language Wirtschaftwoche. Mercedes is also reportedly thinking about starting from scratch again and designing a small car with aspirations that it would bring the division the same fame in the category that the Mini has done for BMW. I can't help thinking about the Smart small-car model, which while drawing way more than its fair share of media attention, has been a financial disaster.
