The upcoming Geneva motor show will host Mercedes' new B-Class "sports tourer," German for "lots of cupholders and handles better than a 1972 VW Westfalia." Originally scheduled for sale in the US, currency exchange and cost concerns led DaimlerChrysler to hold back the B from the US market, where it likely would have exceeded its $25,000 entry-level target.
