Back looks alright, can't stand the front end though. Whole car looks like a smushed up S-class.

If you check out the rear Mercedes emblem the picture may be chopped since it's ON TOP of the 3rd brake light.. which is.. weird.

Here is the translation (from Google Language tool bar)
I am confused. I bought new the coupe

05.06.06 C-class Sportcoupé 2. Facelift?

After the newest rumors the current Sportcoupé is further-built still until 2012. At the beginning of of 2008 is to receive it larger Facelift. With this Facelift more is to be probably adapted the Exterieur Design. The technology is based however further on that the current C-class (W203).
In addition, probably the engines are adapted. So C would know 200 CDI then 136 HP, for which C carry out 220 CDI 170 HP and C 200 K 184 HP.
The Sportcoupé lures so far most buyers from foreign makes to Mercedes Benz. A real successor on basis of the new C-class (W204, spring 2007) is not planned however.

The car in question is a photoshop of one of the 05 refresh release pictures. Its been flipped left to right, but the background and other pieces clearly link it to the original.

Aside from the OPEL headlights, I kinda like it. I think with oval or round lights, I'd like it better. The CLS themed C-Coupe was much better looking.

BTW, it does look like a CL204 is back on the drawing board.

To me, it looks more CLKish. Could this be the next CLK? They do use the same chassis as the C Class.

Because

1) They are C7 wheels. They were designed for the Coupe.
2) As I stated above, its really THIS PICTURE, and some photoshop nose grease.
