They are not for sale in the US, but MB I guess have a couple running around either for testing or other reason. Take any pics?

I followed an "A" Class 200 into Fletcher Jones some months ago. Cute, but that was about all. Horrible green in color. I have more than once seen a car in Newport Beach that is not for sale in the US. More often than not, it is going to Road & Track's offices for a show and tell. Once I read about a car that was NOT going to be imported, and then saw it a couple of hours later on the freeway heading to San Diego.

We saw a B200 while in Halifax, Nova Scotia last week. Had to stop in to the dealer to see what modifications would have to be made to my '03 E320 in order to pass Canadian import requirements. Anyway, that was the first time I had seen the B. I thought it was doable but my wife thought it was too small. It is rather tiny. Not to say it's not pleasing to the eye. One of the service folks I spoke with advised that if one were to buy it with an automatic tranny it better be the turbo model as otherwise it couldn't get out of its own way. Manual tranny is a different story according to him. Base price, when I asked, is in the low $30k CDN and, as we all know, up from there
