The Golf is in the econo-hatchback market, well below Saab... (Actually when you ask most people about hatchbacks, they think of cheap little hatchbacks like the Golf. This isn't necessary a "good thing")
The Mercedes Benz C230 is an "experiment" just like the BMW 318ti was. In the case of the BMW it was a failure in the marketplace and was withdrawn after a few years. I predict the Baby Benz will meet a similar fate.
Hey, it's no sweat for Mercedes when you have plenty of real coupes, sedans, wagons, SUVs and other options available to suit people's desires... To have a 100% hatchback lineup like Saab did for far too many years with the 900 and 9000 is total lunacy!
