We have a few of those Mercedes small cars in Canada.
They aren't attracting many purchasers, even with our higher than the
USA gas prices.
Smart: Bought mostly by businesses, for inner city delivery service.
Very few are bought for personal use. With the current model the Smart
here went backwards in engine, from diesel to gasoline fueled.
B Class: Nice looking, nicely fitted, but costs about 80% more than the
functionally same Caliber; which sells reasonably well here.
The B Class also has much competition from similar, but much lower cost
Asian cars, so it will never have a high volume in Canada.

in USA, AFAIK.
Smart, A Class, B Class. The last two may not look as funky as some Fiats,
but they sure have a better reputation, especially now that the A Class no
longer has reliability issues.

I thought the Nitro/Liberty were unibody? If so, they might well be
lousy crossover SUVs, but I wouldn't call them truck-based.
