A taxicab version of the Mercedes-Benz B-Class was spied in Germany this week.  The second-generation five-door was undergoing testing on the Nurburgring under cover of an entire body of camouflage.

When compared to the current generation B-Class, the next model will likely get features like a rear spoiler, LED rear lighting, and possibly LED daytime runners.  Though the car is expected to get a sportier appearance, it looks like the new car may have a boxier rear.

Based on the 2009 BlueZero Concept, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz B-Class could resurface as an almost production-ready conceptcar by the end of this year.  The all-new hatchback should appear in showrooms and European taxi stands in 2011.
