One of the most hotly anticipated cars of the 2013 Geneva Motor Show is arguably the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG. Boasting an all-wheel drive set up, a dual-clutch transmission and more than 350 horsepower, it is a force to be reckoned with.AND with direct competitors like the Audi S3/RS3 and BMW's M135i, we're thinking that the hot hatch segment just got A LOT more heated.Though we can't be sure just yet — as no one has driven it — the A45 AMG may be a car that goes down in history.AutoSpies.com is ranked #1 on Google for auto show photos!**The 2013 Geneva Motor Show Photo Galleries are sponsored by Fiat2013 Geneva Motor Show Photo Gallery

LOL! It needs a 2nd spoiler about 4 inches higher than the first one. Of course, you will have to switch to brown rice at that point for extra boost.— trmckin (View Profile)

I know I'm the outlier on this one but personally, and IMO, I've always liked the city-econobox design of the previous version of the A car. The floor sandwich, the overall shape, was more unique. This is just too much like the other hatchback cars out there. Having said that, the previous A didn't do too well so I'm hoping this one will serve MB better because I do like MB as a car mfr. BTW, for whatever reason, I think the entry level hatchbacks from BMW, Audi and this one from MB are all very "ordinary". I think Ford, Citroens, Peugeot and VW do a better job. Maybe their longer experience with this segment does matter.— nguyenvuminh (View Profile)

I like the design. Just don't like all the flair... Other than that, it's a cool car. Realize it's a car show but I'm hoping that the ricer fad is fading. — trmckin (View Profile)
