Default Mercedes-Benz B200



Passed a Mercedes B200 on I-5 the other day. It's a tad bigger than the Fiesta hatch but very much of the same style, coming off like a slightly bigger Honda Fit. This was the first time I even knew it existed so it was a bit of a surprise when I came across it. Of course it's not really a Fiesta competitor since it starts at $CDN29,900 but I thought I'd throw it in anyway.

Default If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery....

....a Benz econobox, i love it.....

Dilute the brand image and what do you have? Just another overpriced car.

There's a certain arrogance (or is it just stupidity?) that believes that you can market anything and stick a three pointed star on it and they will come..and over pay, too. Anyone remember the story of Packard in the Depression and beyond?
