Merc is actually targeting younger buyers with their newer models, like the A class, which is competing against BMW 1 series, and are in the VW Golf segment (pricier than the Golf obviously). Probably more for trust fund kids...

The A class debuted in the late '90s, and has always been an utterly-overpriced "hot hatch".

But the 90's A-class were boring looking and surely not targeting young guys...
