It seems the people over at Mercedes-Benz finally realised (part of) this aspect, and decided to offer American and Canadians the possibility of purchasing a B-Class personal car. That’s what we hear in this report from Automotive News at least
We also heard that the we hear that the F-800’s controversial snout is in fact a near match for the next-gen E, and that America could receive a sedan version of the rumored B-Class lineup as well.

Basing on Mercedes SL 65 AMG Black Series, the guys from Carlsson will show us a supercar called C25 and when we say A SUPERCAR, we just think of only one.
Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series is an exclusive model, fast and fun on circuit. But Carlsson think that, based on the model just mentioned above, to make a faster model, more exclusive and designed for the fun on the track.
Currently we are presented only sketches, but as we see, the future prototype has a shape more closely worked with better defined curved lines and more radical edges, plus huge intakes and LEDs. At the first glance it seems a rival ordered for Aston Martin One-77. We must addmit that this project, if it will embody the forms of the sketches, will attract many people in Geneva, where will be presented.
The power is the most spectacular feature announced, C25 will offer 753 HP
