It is nothing new .. been out for years .. ( hatch )
but for sure, it is nothing to do with B .. B is a totally diff line .. more or less compare with Yaris .. Versa .. etc .. lol B class is a joke .. drive like a C 9 car .. look like a C 9 car .. and cheap cheap interior .. and .. it IS a C 9 car ..
and the C class coupe hatch is out now .. ( and will come back ) then it will be the car from Benz to response to 1 series ..
Actually ... A3 may be something compare with the 1 series hatch in Europe .. but there is no S3 in Canada ..
Realistic .. G37 is something close to 1 series .. ~ $50K loaded .. but 4.6 second vs 5.3 .. HUGE diff in performance .. and 1 series is actually bigger inside .. lol
Driven one a while ago.. felt tight.. rear visibility is crap... just like my old Opel Astra... also tight inside which I like but probably passengers don't like.
