Mercedes A-Class Photo Leaked

The official photo has leaked for the new 2012 A-Class and immediately I really liked the look of it. So much better looking than its predecessors. It got me thinking as it looked so familiar to another car and finally the colour of the photo caused me to recall which car it was. I present to you the Opel Corsa OPC. Now I don’t think I am crazy but these two look like they have been separated at birth? I really like the look of the OPC so I am wondering if this has swayed me into liking this A-class because I never thought I would like them at all judging from the previous models. Do you agree with me?
