Both the B-Class & the A-Class should be taken off production of this very ugly car, do people actually buy this car? or do they buy them because they cost low and have the mercedes logo, so to say they drive a mercedes! Production of these two cars should be stopped.. UGLY!

Cool little car, i like the idea of the alternator and starter motor being 1. Surprised it took so long for someone to do that.

lets also say bmw's 1-series handling is years light ahead from this crossover (minivan-compact wagon)

Let me repeat again, A-Class, B-Class & CLC-Class should all be stopped! UGLY! Mercedes-Benz do something about those cars, and dont ruin the Mercedes-Benz image!

close to 325k sold. That is impressive since most of them are sold in Europe.

I share the opinion that the B class is probably the ugliest MB car *ever*. The design of the back is horrible. This facelift is minor and a complete let down.
In contrast, I find the A class cute, practical and an unpretentious quality town family car. This is the reason it has sold in the millions to date. As a current owner I highly recommend it - and I would never "upgrade" to the current B class.

Vaneo, competing very effectively in ugliness to B class, as you correctly point out, has however an excuse, being kind of a utility vehicle that has evolved from an actual van design. As such it may even be considered a success in compromise. What excuse is there, however, for B class ugliness? None. B class has a definite position in the marketplace, as it offers a much improved boot volume in comparison to A class - very desirable for travelling families. But its present aesthetic condition puts off many prospective buyers, including A class owners needing more boot space.

Many people tend to mistake dull for ugly. I don't see how this car could be ugly, since it's just boxy and functional inspiring confidence. In tune with european (mostly germanic) soccer moms needs, and confirmed by its commercial success. I personally don't find a Golf Plus or a Toyota Corolla Verso sexier than this.

certainly, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
as for the "commercial success" part, I have my reservations - the Renault Scenic, a car equivalent to the B class selling at the same price range, sells over 350,000 units *per year*, dwarfing the 325,000 units in *three years* of the B class even without the benefit of the Mercedes brand.

Sure, but despite similarities, they have different aims. The Scenic is a bestseller because 1. it's mostly used as a fist car for young/low budget families while the B-class is more a second/spouse car for average to high income families 2. Renault has a quite wider offer (two wheelbases available plus trendy suv-like versions, etc) 3. more agressive discount/leasing approach and so on. Besides, it would be unfair to compare premium vs popular brands. It's like comparing Clio vs A-Class sales.
