I don't like vans really, and the B isn't really a van, or at least not as van-like as the horrible looking Peugeot 807! Peugeot hasn't sold cars in Canada since 1991, so we've been cut loose from their gape-mouthed lineup of new cars (why did they stop using Pininfarina?)...if they were still here, I'd have likely gone for a B-Class, or perhaps a 307 SW if I felt like taking a reliability risk.

I like the look of the B, the feel of it, the utility (it's like a large hatch/estate wagon), the handling is good for a tall vehicle and what the hell, it was time to try on a Benz as an ownership prospect. The reduction of the car's price in Canada was what tipped the balance.

I am really looking forward to getting mine. I've still not seen Horizon Blue Metallic in the metal yet. I hope we like it.

Roll on the end of the month then. Have only seen a couple of your Blue ones in the UK it looks fine in that colour. You will be pretty exclusive as the blacks & silvers seem to be the norm.
