W203.5 coupe?
Morph the existing tooling for the coupe with the W204 front and you get a Frankenstein car that has the smooth curves of the W203 with the hard edges of the W204.
Guess they ran out of R&D funds or they are getting lazy in Stuttgart

There are about 4 pictures, at least you coupe guys don't have to worry about part supply drying up, Now you can buy a hood, fender bumper and lights and you have a current looking car!

That picture is way off compared to the latest spy photos. The hood stays the same (not a clamshell) there are no downward sweeping lines.

you are right, it is off, but the point was that would make more sens to "204" with that curve. I personally like to see that instead. They chose to stick with the old body I guess for the price., so yeah I would agree with the title of the thread. 203.5

That picture looks good, I guess dreams are free, it would make a nice compliment to my w203 wagon.
I think the coupe get the new w204 interior, it would be a really poor job (it's popor enough as it is) on the behalf of Mercedes if they didn't upgrade it.
