Ultimate sleeper? This car has more interior space than the S-Class.

^depends how you measure it, legroom is no where near s class level, and I've extensively driven the B class and comfort-wise it's way towards the toyota matrix side of the spectrum.

The whole B55 thing isn't really that amazing especially knowing that it's a mercedes it probably won't be more reliable than what custom hot rodders have been doing with american econoboxes for years.

since it has become FR and driving the rear wheels I'm sure it's the 7speed that gets shoved in there.

Although i am surprised they can fit a V8 in there.

5.7 hemi = 390 hp and that is in cars that are much heavier.....believe me 390 hp is still enough and much more than a honda even after vtec has kicked in yo.

any engine is capable of putting out numbers like this for horsepower but there is also reliability to worry about.
