PC Mark Milton, an expert in advanced driving, had been assessing the capabilities of the vehicle. The district judge who acquitted PC Milton described him as the "creme de la creme" of police drivers.



Now, during the first...

Now, during the first half of 2006, his corporation has had to choose between axing nearly 1,000 British Vauxhall workers or a similar number of German Opel employees... and it"s the Brits rather than the Germans who"ve been dumped. How come these Ellesmere Port jobs are the ones to be sacrificed? Especially after Lutz told me that the UK has the edge over Germany as a manufacturing country.

While contacts close to the firm have been hinting about the possibility of an all-new model for some time, designers in Italy have grabbed the bull by the horns to recreate an icon to sit at the top of the legendary supercar maker"s line-up.

While the overall shape...

While the overall shape will remain the same, there"s a sharper nose with larger headlamps and a more rounded rear end. The cabin will be more roomy thanks to increased external dimensions: the new model is 232mm longer, 6mm taller and 45mm wider than before.

The A-Class accounts for one in 20 Mercedes models that have ever been made, so the importance of the car pictured here can"t be underestimated. For the first time, both three and five-door models will be produced, but because of the larger dimensions there will be no additional long-wheelbase version.

To go with the new chassis, a range of fresh engines has also been developed. Petrol models will get reworked versions of the existing 1.5 and 2.0-litre motors and deliver 10 per cent more power and five per cent better economy. Buyers will also have the option of a new 141bhp 2.0-litre diesel. Along with an improved five-speed manual gearbox, engineers have also come up with a new CVT shifter to boost mpg.

After its Paris debut, the A-Class will go on sale across continental Europe early in 2005, with UK dealers opening their order books in spring next year.
