Mercedes B-class

Hi... this seems like the official pics of the merc b-class,
cant say its pretty or ugly, looks just like a bigger a-class.
what do u all think?

ajmat · 14th February 2005, 09:09

It is a bigger A class - uses a stretched platfor- they are after the Vw Touran/ Renualt Megane Scenic market

Nice design and excellent interiors...if prices well, it will do wonders in the European market. Dont see it picking up much in the states and as for india i think the price will be too high.But its way better than the A-class imo

Looks like chrysler has perfectly merged with merc now. yes, We get these types of cars.

To me its a PT CRUISER (chrysler US) with a fusion side view and a popular hatch from europe is a B CLASS MERC. " Lord Help Us "

Or a perfect copy of toyota matrix platform

It turns out the guy from bangalore who modified indica with palio lights and safari back lights is a better bet than guys at DCB world class design studio

well, i prefer its styling to the old M-class not to the new one, which i think is great!!

hmm!! This actually looks like a Korean or a Japanese hatchback!! Not bad...lets see how it works!!

It looks much better than the A-class in my opinion.

I like the interiors and the side profile. The big crease on the bonnet gives it a pick-up like look. Still overall it's a pretty good design. Would have found it better then the A class had it not been for the bonnet crease.

Never mind how it looks, lets see what it does!

Was reading the latest CAR mag testing the new 3 vs new audi A 4 and the Jag X type. The Merc only lost out because of the high price and noisy engine - not bad for a 5 year old design

Yep, but to quote them, there are no real losers

i kinda like the car in red. i would buy it for under 10 laks. over than aint worth it at all. its like the 1 series selling here at rs. 18 laks when it costs half of it. ghrrrr

Good in terms of design and overall appeal.The A-Class's bigger bro.
