Mercedes A Class

     Mercedes-Benz will launch four compact vehicles in the United States in the next three years with starting prices of $30,000 or below. 

     The vehicles will include a production version of the A-class coupe concept shown last week at the New York auto show. Three variants of Mercedes' new-generation compact family also are headed for the United States. 

     Insiders say the three other cars are a small van that will likely be offered as an electric vehicle, a small sedan to be called the CLC, and a small crossover to be called the GLC.

Samsung Galaxy Prevail

     Available later this month for $179.99 sans contract and with a $50 monthly plan that includes unlimited voice, text, and data, the Galaxy Prevail is a welcome addition to the carrier's smartphone lineup. We got a chance to check out the Android 2.2 device at the unveiling event this evening, and though the handset might not offer some of the higher-end features of its other Galaxy S siblings, we think it's shaping up to be a pretty good deal.

     The handset measures 4.4 inches tall by 2.26 inches wide by 0.47 inch thick and weighs a light 3.8 ounces. It's comfortable to hold with a soft-touch finish on back (something we'd actually love to see on the higher-end Galaxy S phones) and easily slips into a pants pocket. The display measures 3.5 inches diagonally and has an HVGA resolution, so you're losing a bit in size and sharpness, but it's also to be expected with such an entry-level device. Plus, the touch screen is still sharp and bright enough to get the job done.
