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.
