Mercedes may sell all variants of A and B class family in U.S.

I like the new B class. I like its compact yet spacious dimensions and the engines it is offered with. This is a car my wife and I are searching for. Safe, well-built, comfortable, compact exterior dimensions and yet spacious inside for both occupants and luggage and very versatile and practical overall. And best of all, due to its FWD layout and efficient engines, this car will very likely offer a great combination of fuel economy and even agility present in most modern compact cars.

If this car is sold in the US I might seriously consider buying one.

A relative on my wifes side has the original B class in Spain and it's a very comfortable and spacious ride. I was amazed at the comfort and interior space and even the refinement of the diesel engine when I rode in it.

I was with you until the FWD...although I must admit that does help in packaging.

Why does it seem that Mercedes is always about 2 or 3 years from bringing 4-cylinder diesels to the US? Its like the sign that says "free beer tomorrow".

Same with BMW - where are the four cylinder BMW diesels in the U.S.? They are only talking so far about the 4-cylinder gasoline versions coming soon. Audi and VW already have them here.

Bring diesel, I buy one.
