The B-Class first made its debut as the Compact Sport Tourer, and production models will be launched in Geneva. Based on the latest A-Class platform - with its 'sandwich floor' structure and compact installation of engine and transmission - the B has a longer wheelbase giving generous legroom for rear-seat passengers and a cabin as spacious as that of many larger saloons and estates.

I argee Amethy! From what I have heard however, they are not going to bring the vehicle to the U.S. (Canada will get it however along with the Smart car that started up here 6+ months or so back). Reason being, Americans according to studies do not like the 'hatchback' type of vheicle nor are they huge fan's of station wagons (some call them 5 doors for god sake like that will make a difference!)
& still prefer the SUV or crossover than this type of vehicle. It's a shame because some of these vehicles (including the B Class) are very practicle vehicles.

I mean, they are killing any prestige the brand has left. Why not have CHRYSLER attack this market? Why Benz? No thanks. And I do think it looks attractive from the outside (the interior is okay, nothing special).
And it will probably be sub-par in quality, as they have yet to prove they can turn that around,

I see it has the same center console and steering wheel as the new ML.
It's gross!!!! But I wouldn't mind having one......I would drive it from teh garage to the mailbox.....or use it at the golf club.....it is a golf cart, isn't it?

I wouldn't mind if the 1-series, A-class, B-class, and smart car were brought over. I'd buy one of them for sure (and maybe eventually all of them, but not at the same time).
