So Merc officially revealed the A-Class yesterday. Thought it would look a lot sharper to be honest. Very underwhelmed by it.

I like that. Much better looking than the last one.

 

What the hell is going on with the steering wheel buttons, though?! What a mess.

Yeah it's much better looking than the current one, I was hoping the front end would look a little less "droopy"!

Apparently the steering wheel is from the S-Class. Make of the meaning of "S" what you will!

Interesting, it looks like an e-class coupe front wise and Q5 from the rear (copycats)! unfortunately not very exciting.

Hmmm not liking it, never really liked the current one.

And the dash! What a mess, looks like someone stuck 2 iPads together and gripfilled to the top of the steering wheel, a little garish, not subtle is it, trying to hard one thinks, it's a bit like the Honda Civic type R styling mess exterior but on the inside, all a bit too much and no style.

Not too offensive on the outside, but wow! That interior... I had to rush out and 'upgrade' my wife's RS3:

Outside is just meh, nothing exciting but then I'm not really an A class fan anyway.

 

That dash, seriously looks like the screens are a complete after thought.  Looks incredibly tacky.

I'd seen some pics of the dash previously and really hoped they'd changed something last minute. This was a car I was considering, this or the RS3, and frankly Mercedes just failed totally. Not a fan of the rear end either.

Dreaming of a Merlin purple RS3 with all the trimmings :)

Tend to agree with most of the comments above. The front is wrong looking (looks like a cousin of the new insignia!) and the dash screen just look out of place. The rest of the interior isn't to bad looking IMO. The RS3 is still no brainer over the A class.
