Talk:Mercedes-Benz A-Class

message: The Elk Test failure paragraphs deserve their own section, rather than just be "lumped in" with the history of the vehicle. It was a very significant issue for the model and so should be highlighted. 94.175.102.211 (talk) 08:39, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
thread_title: Elk Test

message: The section regarding the elk test failure of the A168 cites sources that either return a 404 or are behind paywalls. Also, it gives no explanation as to why the car failed the test. Odysseus Giacosa (talk) 06:25, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Grammar In This Article Is Terrible 

message: The Mercedes-Benz timeline for the 1980s through 2000s is from a common source (template); it's not unique to this article.  Given that only the two top lines of the template are relevant to the article, should it really be here?  (It takes up a lot of space, and is redundant.)  Why not just mention that a complete timeline/listing of M-B models is available in the main M-B article? John Broughton 20:10, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Guys, A-klasse is not a small family car aka C-segment. Initially, A-klasse belonged to A-segment. Soon, a long whellbase version was offered that moved it to the B-segment. The 2nd generation, was longer so it belongs to B-segment. One thing for sure, A-klasse is not a C-segment car. If there are no objections, I'll change that in the article.

thread_title:  Segment 

message: Who wrote this article? It seems it was the brand itself.
This article has a lot of technical data and photos but considering the car was envolved in one of the most serious blows to the Mercedes-Benz image, it should deserve a more detailed description than a couple of words praising how the said brand turned the issue around and recalled a lot of cars.
The article also doesn't point out that the car's interiors were bellow the brand's customers expectations, that due to the moose itsy, bitsy problem, Mercedes relaunched it with a suspension stiffer than a bed of nails or that generally the A Class never got to sell half as much as MB thought it would.
I've been reading about other brands and most of them question the vehicles reliability even without the smallest hint of proof, while this one looks like a never ending praise to the stuttgart company's products.
I wonder if marketeers aren't allready taking a shot at Wikipedia?  Southwestsoul (talk) 16:11, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

message: What's with all the text giving painful detail on available colors (how is "alacantra" white different from regular white?) and special option packages?
