Best View is from inside
The B and C are two different cars altogether. I did not want a sedan (of any make) as I don't like the seating position, I prefer to sit up a little higher. This car fit the bill in more ways than one.
I do hope that they bring in the B and the CDI would really be great for someone like my husband who drive 25-30k miles a year.

6553 of the B Classes have been imported to Canada in two years, so it is selling very well, closing in on the Canadian C Class sales volumes.
The C class wagon is tiny inside. I cannot set the front seat in a C Class to fit me and then get in the rear seat behind. Even getting my feet in the rear door and into the footwell is nearly impossible, and I am only 6'3" and 220 lbs. Because I have tall kids, the C Class (sedan and wagon) were eliminated on that point alone. Think of the C as a 2+2, at best, unless your family members are all small and short.
So the B has more legroom, more headroom, wider rear doors, easier ingress/egress, 2.5" longer wheelbase, greater cargo capacity, better fuel economy and equal quality to the C wagon. The B is built in Rastatt, not far from the Rhine.
