Well, thats pretty much what they do. I have a bare-bones GLK 250 blue tec as a company car right now. It has very few options, not too many of the modern gizmos. I really like it, despite not liking SUVs. I think it actually rides better than the C class! And the 4 cylinder diesel is wonderful. They're not cheap cars, but they never have been. Remember, even 240Ds were expensive when they were new.
The B class is a simple and effective car, although only sold as an EV in the US.
