Mercedes-Benz will show the first U.S.-bound model from the front-wheel-drive family of small cars it's developing, as a concept at next month's 2012 New York Auto Show.

With one of its new front-drive models--its B-Class MPV--already in production, Mercedes today took the covers off the sleek A-Class five-door hatchback, the second from the new range of compact cars. The A-Class emerged at this week's 2012 Geneva Motor Show almost unchanged from its concept form, which was unveiled just last fall.

But while it goes on sale this year in Europe, the A Class hatchback won't arrive in U.S. showrooms until 2013 at the earliest, after another compact car--a coupe-like sedan unofficially dubbed the CLC--makes the rounds on the auto-show circuit and goes into production.
