No one who cares that (crazy) much about cars will ever buy a Mercedes B Class. I’m sorry, but what you are talking about here couldn’t be any less relevant for the prospective target group of this car.

Who the fuck even cares about 0-60 times?! Nobody (for all reasonable definitions of nobody in this context), that’s who.

With its range and charging requirements this car won’t even leave the city all that often.

I don’t know, maybe for Americans the concept of buying a Mercedes as a boring family car is alien, but that’s what the B Class is. It’s not a luxury or performance car.




I'm not American and feel welcome to check out my other comment in this thread.
