Cars that frequent the streets in large numbers, but don\u2019t really stand out in any particular way, have an interesting stigma about themselves. They may be purposeful or reliable vehicles, but they struggle to evoke any notable emotions or sentiment from the general public, and sometimes more importantly, their drivers. With the two generations of B-Class that Mercedes-Benz has lathered city centers around the world with, you could argue that it was a success story. The numbers would certainly appeal for this anyway: 1.5 million units sold since its market launch in 2005 is no small feat for a car, that by its very nature, has somewhat of a run-of-the-mill aura. But if Mercedes-Benz can make the \u2018minivan\u2019 sexy again, surely this would be a feat to brag about. <\/p>\n
Enter the new Mercedes-Benz B-Class; the newest iteration of the \u2018sports tourer\u2019 that is intended to finally make car-pooling and driving the kids to soccer practice a source of pleasure.<\/p>\n\r\n
