Aston Martin Vantage Zagato

That Looks bonkers. Even better then the normal F-Type

Where do you get a V8 in the Compact class? I think the biggest you can get is a V6/I6
I'm not sure if a M156 or M157 would fit into the engine bay of an A45/CLA45

It's not about fuel saving, of course it can average 34us-mpg but I think they built the M133 because it's lighter and they didn't want to change the hierarchy.
That's why they don't put the M157 5.5L Bi-Turbo in the C-Class. that's why BMW don't put the M5 engine in the M3.

I wouldn't say no to a M156 or M159 (6.2L V8) but the M133 / 2L Inline 4 Twin-Scroll-Turbo is pretty Sick on it's own. Way underrated putting out real 400hp, light, High power output fits the character of the CLA/A-Class

Available with awd

Haha Me too. Funny in germany the A1 is so damn cheap (with huge Discounts) , because Nobody Wants it. Even though it's cheap, nobody buys it still :D
There was big News when some journalists reported that audi registered almost all A1 to dealers and Said they are sold.

Oh sorry, I was on the phone and couldn't find very much about it's technical base.

Damn that B-Class looks excellent in white. The VW SV / Plus is a but boring

Don't forget: VW Eos, VW Jetta, Audi A3, Audi A3 Convertible, Audi A3 Sportback, Audi Q3(SQ3), Audi TT(S)(RS), Seat Leon, Skoda Octavia, Skoda Yeti, Seat Altea, Seat Altea XL, Skoda Rapid

In germany you get a good equipped one for ~8.500€, panoramic roof, iphone Connection, sound System, alloys, automatic light, ambient light, automatic, tach, led daylights, Electric Windows and it has only done less than 5000km

I don't know about the prices in canada, in germany the prices are okay.
And I drove a Fiesta (2012) and hated it. Fiat 500 was more fun. But whatever, I don't want to Force my opinion on/(to?) anybody buy and like whatever you want :) but don't dislike the smart, they sure have their weak and strong points like any…

I don't say they are unsuccessfull but boring and I don't like that concept/company; to market one car as 6 with big price differences. They are mocking with the Consumers, who don't know any better.

Have you? I drove a Diesel and the Electric Drive. The Electric drive is more fun.
In a couple of weeks I will own a new gasoline one as my First own car.
It's not as fun as a SLK350 or Abarth 500 sure, but it has a different Price Tag

Um, because it seems that you don't know anything about the smart I can't Take that serious.

Okay I haven't Seen a wagon with a mileage of <4L/100KM, maybe in the Compact class.

I don't know for America, I live in Europe and the most "similar" car is the toyota iq but with fwd and front engine, which came later.
Well okay kei cars, but I didn't See any of them here

I think the VW company is a fail.
Maximizing the profit with all it's brand and beige fwd cars, sometimes with a huge huge grill. Selling the basic same car with big price differences without trying to be innovative or something different, only different badges.
(Excluding the 911&Cayman/Boxter)

I wouldn't call 1.300.000 sold cars (until now it's more) a failure.
So You Fail

Seriously I don't get all the Smart hate here at jalopnik.
It's small and light, it's midengined and has RWD, the automated manual isn't that bad and is probably fixed on the new model.
It's original and created it's own segment. It's not trying to be anything else than a small, fun city car.
