Talking Behold!!! the CLK fighter (Photoshop)

Please please please!!! work with me on this one, is a very quick and awful photoshop but just throwing an idea, wouldnt it be cool to have a coupe version???? i got the idea after going through the brochure and seeing that picture, it looked like a coupe <it's in two pages and you can't stretch it enough to see the whole picture> So i went ahead and tried this see how it would look.. if a ps guru wanna give it a try, it would be great

PS keep in mind that I know the door is too big and all that, Im just trying to show a general idea

If it had doors like a regular coupe, I'd hit it. A GS coupe would be something!

Nice try but those doors look HUGE.

It'll be a 645i fighter, not a CLK fighter though. The CLK is based on the C-Class chassis and will be what the IS coupe will be aiming at (along with the 3-Series coupes, of course).

They build it...I buy it. Let's do a petition demanding Lexus build it. Who's with me?
Seriously though, this would be my knid of car. A big coupe.....a big luxury coupe. All of a sudden I want some sex. Where's that woman of mine.

I'd buy it. Of course the wheels look a bit too small...........Nothing a set of 20's can't fix. Nice job on the ps guys.

Default What about the SC - looknow's take.

I really like the work you've done here. It's awesome.

It's funny though, the SC series back in the late 90's was more of a coupe like this. The latest SC generation made a distinctive departure from the traditional coupe design.

There's definitely an audience gap that needs to be filled between the SC 1st Gen and 2nd Gen. But the GS seems to be a larger stretch as a coupe. The GS always indicated Mid Size "Sedan". While SC indicated "Coupe". Perhaps the SC line needs to be enhanced to include more styles like this one.

That's MB's way of charging people E-Class money with a C-Class variant by making it wear the E-Class skin.
