The upcoming Mercedes-Benz B-Class hatchback may be best described as the “VolksBenz.” Not that Volkswagen had anything to do with the car (it didn’t), but the new B-Class is meant to be a “People’s Benz,” a car for the masses. No, it won’t be priced along the same lines as a VW Golf, but as Mercedes’ new “gateway to the brand” vehicle, it will be more affordable than anything else with a three-pointed star. You’ll be able to snap up a B-Class of your own this fall, but we wouldn’t recommend tossing the keys to your parents.
If you think Germans lack a sense of humor, watch the surprisingly racy video ad for the upcoming B-Class below. Sure, you’ll want to wash your brain out with soap afterwards, but let’s be honest here: you really don’t believe that a stork dropped you down the chimney of your parent’s house, do you?
