[Hippo]

new B 200 special launch price $160,888 for chrome package. $167,888 special sports package. Delivery jul/aug. Coe capped at $64,888. Engine is 1.6 turbo type. should be the same engine for the new e class 2013.

sports package comes with sports suspension, new type gear box, reverse camera n electric memory seat i think.

but no show room car yet.

Sound interesting to see the 1.6 turbo can carry the B-class well, saw the initial snap shot of the new B-Clas, is a totally new experience and platform.

Wondering whether worth changing from C Class to the New B Class?Is it consider a downgrading?Hahahah.....

[keith]

Hmmm one is a hatchback and the other is a sedan

[alvin89]

i think c class is still better

[Arshavin]

Haha. I like hatchback. As long as u r driving a Mercedes Benz, nothing better

[Pumper]

Just got back from Taipei and saw lots of the new B-Class there! Looks nice in flesh!

[Arshavin]

Electric memory seats !!! Even better than C180K.

COE capped at 64888 means any price above that we need to top up.

Hmmm, drop it a few mm, 18 inch, BBK, a low-key roof spoiler..should look very nice

[Joseph Sng]

Looks cool and guess the side mirrors can collapsed which my B180 cant

There is a PI bringing in the new B at Ubi. Went to see just now, Mercedes has really improved on the interior quality and overall design for the B-Class.

But this PI is only bringing in the B180 : 1.6NA 122bhp, 7TCT

There's also the B200 1.6T 156bhp 7TCT and and B250 2.0T 211bhp 7TCT, but PI not bringing in these 2 variants

[Arshavin]

PI selling the b class at?

[twisti]

PI selling the b class at?

PI - $172,000.

Also went to C&C. For Chrome model - S$160,888, sports model: - S$170,888

The chrome comes with 16 inch rims, while the sports model comes with 17 inch. Got rear aircon also

[Arshavin]

For rear aircon, is there any workshop that can replace the rear air blowers inside C180K to aircon type?

[Seaclass]

Looks big like a compact mpv.

[Seaclass]

For rear aircon, is there any workshop that can replace the rear air blowers inside C180K to aircon type?

What's e diff bet. Aircon blowers n aircon type?

[Arshavin]

Aircon blowers just blowing air only, all c180k has blowers for rear seats only

Aircon type I means has the selection switch for temp control and cold air will come out

[tsktsk]

Aircon blowers just blowing air only, all c180k has blowers for rear seats only

Aircon type I means has the selection switch for temp control and cold air will come out

wouldnt this be triple zone aircon? if possible then it sounds like an expensive mod

[Arshavin]

The driver and front driver seats have their own zone aircon control.

For the rear passengers, it is just pure air blowers.

I was thinking of Replacing the air blowers with temp controllable air con

[Cklasse]

In Mar Sir Lee words, it's call Thermotronic. What we have for standard is Thermatic.

[Arshavin]

Thanks TP for the exact wording.

Wow the B Class looks really good in the interior. The aircon vents are very similiar to my grandpa's all 1980's Merc E class. But now is metal ones though.
