It's still a transverse-engine FWD chassis. Real Mercedes have longitudinal engines. Yes, I know about the A-class, but they don't sell that in the USA, so it doesn't count. ;) VWAG pulled the same cynical move when they built the TT (and later the A3) on transverse FWD Volkswagen chassis and tried to pass them off as Audis. A real Audi has a longitudinal engine and AWD. I am not fooled.
