The Mercedes-Benz W108/W109, a model series that graced the automotive landscape from 1965 to 1972, was nothing short of a testament to luxury, design, and innovation. This line of large, opulent cars took the mantle from the "Fintail" sedan range and introduced the world to an era of sophistication and elegance. Designed by the renowned Paul Bracq, the W108/W109 featured sleek, three-box styling that did away with the somewhat controversial fins of its predecessor, the W111 "Heckflosse."

The Mercedes-Benz B-Class (codename W245) is a compact MPV introduced by German automaker Mercedes-Benz in March 2005. It is essentially an enlarged A-Class keeping the same engine and suspension system. Like the A-Class, the B-Class is a front wheel drive vehicle. Mercedes-Benz describes this vehicle as a Compact Sports Tourer instead of hatchback or multi-purpose vehicle, like its R-Class model, which is called a Grand Sports Tourer. It was released in Europe in the late spring of 2005 and in Canada in the autumn of 2005. Plans to import the car to the US were put on hold due to a strong euro.
