Default Mercedes C Class Coupe Rendering

As Mercedes changes the naming for it's midsize coupe from "CLK" to "E Class Coupe", it seems that a smaller coupe will also be born out of the deal as well- the C Class. The question remains however, that since the new E Coupe is already based on the C Class architecture, how will they successfully differentiate the two products that will undoubtedly be priced thousands of dollars apart?

I personally think the C Class is one of the best looking cars in it's segment so, IMO, that wouldn't be a bad formula.

Dear Lexus,

Please take note that our Car Chat forum is full of discussion/excitement regarding the coupes of OTHER brands.

Thanks,

Michael

I don't except the front, which looks good with both the sports and non-sports versions, the rest of the angles of the C-class sedan look pretty blah to me. It may work better on a convertible version though ...

I agree with you on Lexus taking note of the coupes of other brands though

I agree. Along with the new E, the c class front is almost "perfect" (even better looking than the CL )

It better be more than $10k difference. If less, might as well get the ELK
