Mercedes-Benz is referring to the new B-Class as a compact sports tourer and its new design reflects that sportier stance. Official images of the next-generation B-Class have been released here ahead of the model's public debut at the Frankfurt motor show next month and we get a detailed look, with 45 photos in the album, at the new compact. The B-Class has been sleeked-out (now featuring a drag co-efficient of just 0.26) and the new design makes the vehicle look very R-Class-like in its shape. Mercedes-Benz has promised to offer lots of tech goodies in the new B-Class and they deliver on that. Included in the offerings are such functions as Adaptive Headlamp Assist, Blind Spot Assist / Lane Keeping Assist, Attention Assist, Speed Limit Assist, Active Parking Assist, Linguatronic, DISTRONIC PLUS, PRE-SAFE and COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST with adaptive Brake Assist. A start/stop system comes standard in the next B-Class too. Power plants available begin with the 1.6-liter petrol producing 90 kW (122 PS / 121 hp) and 200 Nm (147 lb-ft) of torque, and continues with another 1.6 offering 115 kW (156 PS / 154 hp) and 250 Nm (184 lb-ft) of torque. For the diesels, there's a 1.8-liter with 80 kW (109 PS / 107 hp) and 250 Nm (184 lb-ft) of torque which is also configured to deliver 100 kW (136 PS / 134 hp) and 300 Nm (221 lb-ft) of torque. Transmissions on offer are the 6-speed manual and 7-speed 7G-DCT dual clutch gearbox.Author: worldcarfans

John Anderson - Black Sheep (WITH LYRICS), From The Album Greatest Hits 1985 My daddy was a brakeman on a highball traveling train Mama she raised four little children and the family had a good name And papa and mama wanted all for us they never had Big brother little brother sister too none of them turned out half bad Cept me I'm the black sheep of the family Big brother went to college and became a doctor man I guess he makes about a million dollars a year off the folks on insurance plan He's got a big long Mercedes Benz and a house overlooking the town He sits in his Jacuzzi and he watches the sun go down And he feels real sorry for me I'm the black sheep of the family Yeah I drive me a big ol' semi truck I'm makin' payments on a two room shack My wife she waits on tables and at night she rubs my back And I tell her what my papa said to my mama when he got off a highball train Wake me up early be good to my dogs and teach my children to pray Little sister married a banker yeah he owns a country club He bought her a big ol' racing horse and a funny lookin' little dog He buys her big rings and diamonds and a brand new Japanese yacht They like to get together and talk about all the things they've got But they never mention me I'm the black sheep of the family Yeah I drive me a big ol' semi truck... I'm sayin' woman wake me up early be good to my dogs And teach my children to pray
