Mercedes to Stop Producing A and B-Class Models

Muamer Hodzic June 2, 2008

German newspaper ‘Frankfurt Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung’ is reporting that Daimler AG will stop the production of the current Mercedes brand A- and B-class models. They are claiming that Mercedes will replace the vehicles with a whole new model family. Instead of the two models, there will be four vehicles: off-road, cabrio, coupe and mini-van.
“We are working on a complete new concept for a successor for the A- and B-class models,” the report cites executive board sources as saying. This is definitely making now sense whatsoever. They just introduced new-generations of the both models, and now they are thinking of dishing both models, just to replace them with four vehicles. What are Mercedes’ intentions with this move?
