That isn't a typical M-B name. Normally, they always skip some letters of the alphabet for their cars' names: "A", skip b, "C", skip d, "E", skip f, "G", skip h, the "I" isn't used, skip j, the "K" isn't used, skip l, "M", skip N, etc. All their lineup is like that. This "B" probably isn't the real name that will be used, but mercedes can always want to change its organisation of names.

If they could bring it here with a decent (Audi quality) interior and some halfway decent six banger power, I'd go for a test drive.
Failing that, a 3.2 DSG A3 Sportback looks mighty tasty.
Not a bad lookin' little hauler. Not bad at all!
Honda has this for Europe/Japan which may come to NA for 06. Not sure if Toyota would bring their Avensis or what I really like is the WISH. Think the sport wagon will be the future especially with oil/gas prices about to skyrocket.

It might use the supercharged 1.8-liter I-4 engine found on the C230 sedan and coupe, and I wouldn't be surprised that we may see a turbodiesel engine as an option one year after release (about the same time the USA completely switches over to low-sulfur diesel fuel).
Expect the car to be officially unveiled at the 2005 Detroit International Auto Show this coming January.
