There is no AMG package for the B-Class. There is a sports package that makes the exterior look more dynamic and you can order AMG rims for it, just like on the A-Class.


B-Class with sport package


Regular B-Class:

The B-Class uses the A-Class platform. The A-Class platform was specifically created for, well, the A-Class.

It's FWD because of weight-saving issues and because the A or B-Class aren't supposed to be sporty cars in the purist sense (RWD, 50-50 weight balance etc.).

I'd take an A-Class over a B-Class because you can throw the little A-Class around like a maniac and it actually copes wonderfully! The B-Class on the other hand has a really soft suspension and vague steering and doesn't feel sporty at all.
