I'd like more info on that registration process. I don't want to wait another 8 years for my Lancia Delta. What DMV was it, I need to go there and tell them to tell me what they told you!

You must be the lady that I spoke to in the parking lot in Chino in front of the book store.

I see you found the forum that I recommended.

Do you remember me? :)

Here is a link for the B-Class on MB Canada's site. You just may get it in the US. Ernst Lieb, now president of MBUSA, was president of MB Canada and is a big fan of the B Class and he pushed really hard to bring them into Canada.

Yeah, just like the R-Class is no minivan.

Here is the DMV link. http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/brochures/fast_facts/ffvr29.htm
I spoke to the Technical Compliance Section of the DMV at (916) 657-6795. Actually I spoke three different times to three different people and got three different answers. I even had the dealer talk to them just to make sure that I could do this.

2008 update - It looks like NHTSA rules have changed so importing a B or several other cars may not be possible for now.

Good luck!
Yes, they are strict in all the provinces. ;) Rules just got tougher as well. If you fail emissions, you now have to pay more to try and fix it and there has also been a new levy imposed on new vehicles that have a high mileage rating (gas-guzzler tax effectively).

You're right about the resigistering a US car in Canada - forget it. :(

Anyway, great car! I saw one today actually. Lots of Smart cars around as well.

Stationwagon

Having seen the car in person, I think it is more correct to describe it as a car based (unitized chassis) cross-over vehicle, in the same class of cars as the Lexus RX330, Honda CRV, Toyota RAV4, etc.
