People put a lot of money in performance tuning to get rid of 0.5s in the lower scale, but even in the slower numbers improving by 1s often takes engine swapping, super-charging and/or other sorts of mods. Saying 'considerably less than 10s' is like saying 'your salary will be considerably more than 1k' which could be 1.2k as well as 4k, but when you hear that you know it's about the former.

- arrrg 14y agoNo one who cares that (crazy) much about cars will ever buy a Mercedes B Class. I’m sorry, but what you are talking about here couldn’t be any less relevant for the prospective target group of this car. Who the fuck even cares about 0-60 times?! Nobody (for all reasonable definitions of nobody in this context), that’s who. With its range and charging requirements this car won’t even leave the city all that often. I don’t know, maybe for Americans the concept of buying a Mercedes as a boring family car is alien, but that’s what the B Class is. It’s not a luxury or performance car.
