Friday, December 28, 2012 New on Autos.ca First Drive: 2013 Mercedes-Benz B 250 We previewed the European version of the new B-Class in Austria more than a year ago, but at that time, the Canadian introduction date, pricing, and powertrain choices hadn't been finalized. Now that the details have been released and we've had a chance to drive the Canadian model, we can confirm that the new B 250 is not only quicker, better handling, safer, and better equipped, it's also a much better value. Starting at $29,900 (the same price as the previous B 200, which was discontinued in the Fall of 2011) the 2013 B 250 adds $7,000 worth of standard equipment (according to Mercedes) TEST DRIVE: 2013 ACURA ILX HYBRID TEST DRIVE: 2013 VOLVO S60 T5 AWD TEST DRIVE: 2013 MERCEDES-BENZ GLK 350 TEST DRIVE: 2013 SUBARU WRX TEST DRIVE: 2013 LEXUS ES300h TEST DRIVE: 2013 KIA SPORTAGE SX Autos.ca Insight AUTOS.CA INSIGHT: PREVIEW: 2014 FORD TRANSIT AUTOS.CA INSIGHT: FIRST DRIVE: 2013 CHEVROLET TRAX AUTOS.CA INSIGHT: Autos.ca 2013 Top Picks AUTOS.CA INSIGHT: FINAL DRIVE: 1980 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE CONVERTIBLE	IN THE NEWS THIS WEEK Top headlines on autos.ca this week included: 2013 Toyota RAV4 Canadian Pricing Announced IIHS Crowns 13 Top Safety Pick+ and 117 Top Safety Picks Infiniti Quite Likes Q's Got Your LFA?
