Filed under: Saab , Earnings/Financials It’s a Saab story, we know, but this is – in all likelihood – the end of the road for Sweden’s “other” automaker.

Filed under: Spy Photos , Videos , Hatchback , Mercedes-Benz , Luxury Last we heard, Mercedes-Benz was planning to bring its new A-Class to North America, a market where the current model has never been sold. But whether it makes the trek or not, there’s little question that the new premium hatchback will be a vital product for Daimler. While the current A-Class hasn’t been a smashing success, the segment has grown into an important one for luxury automakers like Audi with its A3 and BMW with its 1 Series . The new model, however, aims to take a slice of that particular pie once it debuts as anticipated in production form at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in a couple of months from now
