    First World luxury cars, Third World taxicabs, and upper-middle-class minivans. Outside of Toyota/Nissan in their home market, who else could pull that off?

    Make a B63 AMG and it'd be interesting. Ooh, or a B65 AMG! Just don't ask me how to shoehorn a V12 biturbo into that thing. I'll leave that to the engineers.

    At least the current B-Class is unique: A tall, roomy hatchback that somehow manages to squeeze a E-Class sized interior into a Golf-sized exterior. That's the reason for the excellent sales numbers. This new one: meh.

    We're not getting it anyway, right?

    We'll I say keep it the way it is. Let the Europeans drive it. I'm tired of being jealous of the offerings they have over there. Their super diesels, their multiple turbo offerings.

    Now I won't be as jealous. When I talk to relatives and they tell me how wonderful a certain new car is, I'll just say: Yes, but what about the new Mercedes B-Class?

    They will have no choice but to shut-up.
    Thank you Mercedes, unless you plan on shipping it here- don't, please.

    Are 5 door hatchback buyers really looking for a Mercedes? Somehow I doubt Mazda3, VW Golf, WRX buyers are going to cross shop this.

    Chop the roof down and call it the world's first "5-door Coupe." Come on, Merc, you know you want to.

    If they have the balls to build and sell a $250k car, then charge $10k for paint, why, then can you not get black seats with a colored interior?

    @pauljones: I suspect that if you spoke nicely with the kind sales individual and started stacking the cash on the desk, they might be able to find a way to help you.

    At worst, you can order a second set of seats with the trim you lack, take it to an auto upholsterer, and they would run you up some custom seats. If you can afford the car, you can probably afford to have your own customizing done if you really want. And I bet you might have a spare car to drive while you're waiting for the work to be done.

    Mercedes is still a rookie in a game that Porsche has already mastered--this is nothing next to the $100,000 base-model Boxster you can build on Porsche's configurator (coordinating color vent trim rings?! Sign me up!).

    Looking closely at the rendering on the front cover, though, I have a question. Is that a PORTHOLE in the roof? I'd never noticed that particular styling detail before. Let's hope it's just part of the "2003 Thunderbird Dress-Up Package."

    @FormerlyPreferredCustomer:

    I know, I was bored once and got one up to over $110k. That's just obnoxious. You have to wonder what the take rate is on these options, as at some point, if there aren't enough takers, how does it make sense to continue to spend money offering them?

    BTW; does the cover graphic look to anyone else like an odd mash-up of Nissan GT-R and Chrysler Crossfire? I mean, what's with the porthole windows?
