Hey guys!

We don't normally get to choose options for cars we buy here. Instead, car companies sell a particular model in different "variants" (dealer chooses the options in those variants). But the B200 Turbo is different because I specifically ordered for it hence the 3-4 months wait *grrr*

Diesels are not very popular here for passenger cars (but popular for SUVs) as we don't get tax benefits for choosing diesel. Also, it will be a bit hard to sell a diesel passenger car later on as demand is not so high.

To give you an idea how expensive MB's are here, the B200 Turbo I ordered which came out at around CAD $49k in the MB Canada car configurator will cost about CAD $66k after taxes.

Japanese cars are fairly ok here (like CAD$17k for a Honda Jazz 1.5L and CAD$35k for a 3.0L Accord) but European cars tend to be very expensive (like CAD$64k for an MB C180 and about CAD$77k for a BMW 325)
