Just saw one in the US

In my apartment building garage I saw this weird car that I had never seen before. Got closer and saw that it was a B200! This is of course odd because I am in the US, and this car is not available here. However, it did have Michigan plates, and MB USA's headquarters is only about 10-15 miles away, and my apartment complex does offer short term leases and corporate housing.

Whatever there's gas in...
Good find!!

The rear lights sort of remind me of the previous Lexus LS430 in a way

I saw a black one at a gas station in staten island. At first I though MB was putting out hybrids or something, but it said B200 Turbo. Had Ontario plates. The funny thing was there were like 5 asian people in it who were completely lost. They were in the gas store trying to figure out which map to buy. I wonder if the US will offer this model.

Friend of mine has the 200Hp B200, insane little car...

Corners badly, accelerates at the same pace as the Golf GTI.

For long trips it is a great little car..

in canada we get these b-classes as a loaner all the time. They're pretty common here (way more then a w203 IMO).

I'd really buy a B as an extra car, if they sold them here for a good price.

Great, comfortable touring car and the fuel economy is very good. There's more room inside than the E-Class.
