I'm going for A

 

I'm going for c.

 

I'd say C too cause when I ordered mine I was told I wasn't the age group that had been ordering them. Even though A is the target group.

 

I think there are people from all groups buying them but I would guess B.

 

I'm going with B

 

I guess C...

 

B, even though i'm not

 

B is the official Merc target group, certainly not A as not many 20yr olds can afford a 40k car!

I'd say C

 

I've just got back from my local Mercedes AMG dealership and they have sold 5 cars to date.One in Mountain Grey was being picked up whilst I was there. A real beauty with full kit on! ok I should have taken a pic.

Any way
What age group is the dealer selling to over the first four cars?


a. 20-30
b. 30-40
c. 40-50
d. 50-60
e. 60-70


Sorry no prize but have a bash.
Will give it a few days before the answer with a roll of drums and probably in reverse order!

Will leave it 'till Sunday night when the roll of drums will start and all will be revealed.

 

Well even though I'm in category B ( well done mercedes for a conquest sale as they put it), I reckon the result will be really random like group E. something tells me their older loyal following fancy saving a few quid without abandoning the marque.

 

I'm in B (just!) but agree that it's probably older age group that has been ordering the A45

MOST CERTAINLY B!!!

 

I'm a year in to Cat B and I'm going with B.

I don't think 20 something's is a particularly attractive market for Merc. All the other markets are a lot more lucrative. Their aim with the A Class is to get younger people hooked on Mercs because traditionally, Mercedes has been a marque for wealthy 50+. 30 something's are the perfect target market to achieve this.

If they were really after 20 year olds, they'd go for a small hatch back like the Audi A1. Not many 20 year olds will be able to afford a five seated, 5 door Merc. And those that can will buy an Audi TT or BMW Z4. The A class is definitely aimed at 30+.

 

I'm part of C but my vote is going for B.!

Well I guess I'm glad to break the trend. In my personal opinion a 5 door hot hatch is the most versatile car out there. Obviously this one is a super hatch. No offence to any TT owners or previous owners is a hairdressers car...

 

Tough one... I'll say B, but it could quite easily be something completely random.

 

I would have thought B or C - I'll go for B as I reckon those in the C category would go for something along the lines of a C63

 

I vote B long term, but for the current pre-order I wouldn't be surprised with C. Can't be A, No chance of gen Y waiting 9 months for anything
My dealer had sold 27 A45s, 25 to be delivered before Christmas, 2 people waiting for a 2014 build, I'm number 25.

 

I'm not even old enough for a :S

 

B. but I say that because I'm in that age bracket. Like some people have said, I can't see too many people in their 20s being able to afford this car. Where I come from it costs a little over $80k ($90k USD) however it comes with ALL options as standard apart from the aero kit and suspension upgrade. Less options the better I say!

 

I reckon it could be a shock result, like A or C.

Myself, I'm not even half way through A yet
