In the 360 virtual tour, it looks like there are two roof panels that lift out. Is that correct?
I drove a Chevy Chevette for 18 months in the early 80's because it was all I could afford. I only put passangers in the back when I absolutely had to. A rear-end collision could kill them!
I vowed never to drive a car that small again.

Contrary to popular theory, the Mercedes A-class and the Smart are NOT related. The Smart started as a collaboration between Swatch (the watch company) and Mercedes. Swatch dropped out and (then) DaimlerBenz continued development. While there may be some component sharing because of the DaimlerChrysler connection, the Smart is rear wheel drive and powered by a rear engine. The A-class (W168/9) are front engine, front wheel drive models.
The A-class is a cool little ride - enoy it. Me, I'd like a B-class like the ones sold in Canada.

i actually own one of these. i have it in mexico. they are released there. you probably think this is bs. no im telling the truth. if anyone here has ever been to the state of jalisco mexico, i live in leon guanajuato. these cars were built by some watch company and mercedes benz. i also have the extended, merecedes benz version called the a 160. here are some pictures.
