I know that there are some differences and that's what I meant by "recycled". but it's basically still the same car.

True.

Here's the schematic again.

I guess I am one of the few people who likes the original BlueZero (and this) design. If the next-generation B-Class looks like this I will be thrilled. I'm especially digging the rear lights that seem to be located behind clear see-through plastic. Love it.

This design looks very aerodynamic, fluid and futuristic. I think this is exactly what the upcoming B-Class needs to attain some "style" and personality. The current design is versatile but extremely boring.

And these alternative propulsion techniques sound interesting too.

Well expect to see more of this. Antoine Habib (designer of the E60 5er interior, Concept CS exterior and F01/F02 7er Exterior) is now head of Advanced Design for Mercedes.

Yes, and I remember Karlheinz Bauer (Daimler head of design management & operations for passenger vehicles) saying in the next few years car design will shift to more organic & round lines / shapes again.

So, ODC, F700, BlueZero - all the latest MB concepts showing such a trend.

So, after this generation of boxy & angular cars I guess the next one will be more trendy (curvy & organic). What was the point of going angular anyway?
