Default MB C-class Coupe??



We all know the CLK is basically a C-class coupe, but maybe this is a smaller coupe to replace the discontinued C-class Sportscoupe??

If it is real, it looks WAY better than the current one, which is the ugliest Mercedes in it's line-up, & one of the ugliest car on the road IMHO.

I think you mean the current C class sports coupe ? The above is not suppose to replace the CLK. A new CLK will not have a rear like it's shown in the background above, plus it's only 25000 Euro's ? . . .

The C class sport is no longer available in the US. Good looking car but not many americans can understand a luxury hatchback.

I hope its a coupe and not a hatchback called a coupe.

It looks good

I hope it doesn't have that BMW C-pillar "Hoffmeister" kink

But that will make it too close to the C class based CLK, it will be just a slightly smaller CLK . . .

Yeah my initial thought was that why bother when they already have the CLK, but then I guess the CLK is just a tad too expensive and that they need a true downmarket 2-door hatch to compete with...um...whom now? (Now that the 3 coupe is becoming more expensive.)
