If BMW brings over the 1-Series, the last thing MB should do is bring over the A or B-Classes. The B200 Turbo with 193-horsepower already has terrible torque steer when you slam it, forget it, this car won't touch the 1-Series.

What Mercedes should do is make the next generation C-Class Sportcoupé be the rival of the 1-Series. BMW won't bring over the 3er Compact, so the 1-Series may as well be battling it out with the C-Class Sportcoupe, which is a natural rival of the Audi A3: and the A3 has been compared to the 1-Series a lot lately.

It all fits in.
