Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / February 2005B-CLASS in USA?
About a week ago on MBUSA.com, there was a subsection about the new B-Class or "Vision B", but it's no longer there. Previously, it was accessibly be going under "Future Vehicles". Does anyone know if Mercedes' plans to introduce the B-Class later this year have changed? Thanks. > About a week ago on MBUSA.com, there was a subsection about the new > B-Class or "Vision B", but it's no longer there. Previously, it was > accessibly be going under "Future Vehicles".

I know the Smart car plans have been put on hold. > About a week ago on MBUSA.com, there was a subsection about the new > B-Class or "Vision B", but it's no longer there.

Based on the platform of the new a-class, the B-Class is a Microvan, which will compete with such popular cars as VW Touran, Renault Megane Scenic, Citroen Picasso and Ford Focus C- Max. It will be a car for those people who are willing to pay the money for a C-Class but want a Microvan. Here is a picture: http://www.dinside.no/km_bilde/7/134627.jpg AFAIR Mercedes tried to compete with the tremendously successful VW Golf when they introduced the first A-Class. This did not wor out. Now they are aiming at those who are willing to buy one size larger.
