you know why the fallen over ?
they are hollow under the floor if you look at early ones .
The reason for that is mercedes announced late 90s they will produce the electric fuelcell car in 2004
the a class was designed to hold the fuelcell system tanks or battery for storage under the floor, but it never has happened for what reason not i never found out but this did mean the engine and gearbox was higher and no waight to hold things down making it top heavy and fall over. the fix was fitting stability controll to stop them fall over . and smaller wheels to lover the high gravity point .
