Report: Mercedes insider hints at A-Class roadster for 2012

An updated 2009 A-Class was revealed late last year, and though it received a number of updates, the car is due for a complete redesign sometime in 2011. The next-generation A-Class range is expected to feature a number of body styles, but the latest word indicates a roadster could be joining the group as well. Previous speculation on the next-gen A-Class family had only included the standard hatch, a new mini-SUV, sports-hatch and four-door coupe models. Now a possible roadster, perhaps styled after the SLA Concept, is also thought to be in the works. Mercedes-Benz compact family renderings
