Mercedes-Benz has announced plans to introduce a new lineup of front-wheel drive vehicles to the U.S., with plans for two and possibly even a third model over the next three years.

Automotive News reports that the automaker has concrete plans for at least two U.S. models sporting the new "Mercedes Front-wheel-drive Architecture" or MFA.

"We will introduce the next generation of our MFA family to the U.S.," Mercedes' global sales and marketing boss, Joachim Schmidt, told the news source.

A coupe and an SUV are already confirmed to be making an appearance stateside. The SUV is planned for 2014 and will go head-to-head with the similar BMW X1, reports the news source. Meanwhile, the coupe, dubbed the "baby CLS" by Mercedes insiders, will arrive in 2013.

In addition, Mercedes is currently deciding on whether or not a third vehicle will see production. If it does, it would likely be in the form of a convertible or a "shooting brake," a rare compact wagon design with a squared off back.

Europe will also get two new hatchbacks, with Mercedes leaving the door open for a possible U.S. debut if they prove popular enough.

Drivers considering the purchase of a used Mercedes or any other vehicle may want to head to New Jersey State Auto Auction, where they can find vehicles for well below their Kelley Blue Book value.
