New Mercedes CEO Steve Cannon to get US ready for A and B-Class

I want the new B class. Looks great. Small yet spacious, comfortable to get into and drive. Great car. I like the reviews from Europe about it. Bring it over!

Willis - I'm of the same mindset as you. I really like the practicality of such cars. I'm really into hatchback sedans like Citroens and small minivans like Mazda5 and Grand C-Max. Unfortunately, our taste runs counter to the larger market preference of the USA so it'll be a while before we such cars hitting our shore.

I live in Europe and the new Citroens are really stunning cars. They're also of higher quality than past Citroens and have gotten great ratings in terms of reliability, quality and ownership costs.

Every single Citroen car on the market today is a work of art. Beautiful cars. I am lusting after a DS3, DS5, C4 and C5. And I wished Citroen would have produced that Metropolis concept from a few years ago, what a stunning car that was.

Sadly these cars don't appeal to the average American because the styling is to "outrageous" for one and Citroens biggest engine is a V6 that is "underpowered" by American standards.

Glad to see I am not alone here.

I'll be in Europe in February next year on business. I hope to rent the new B class or at least see it in person. So far I like what I see.

Give me a diesel B class and the automatic transmission and it's all I need.

Wimmer - spot on.
