Eh, 2 door C class. I wonder if it uses the same chassis as the current W204.

An E coupe! Aren't they calling it a CLK anymore? The C coupe is now called CLC and also the S coupe was called Cl since before 2000...
The headlight is kinda funky tho. The tail is up and nose down kind of like the CLC. I almost thought it was the CLC at first due to that stance. It looks sportier than the current CLK but not as classy IMO.

I think they're just scrapping the whole naming convention of the cars... I could have swore I read somewhere they're going back to the original naming convention with sedans that have coupe versions as opposed to the CLK, CL, and C coupe...

E - Yes it does. They decided to call it an E Class to spice up the E range that is not doing as well as they would like. CLC was a cheap upgrade of the W203 chassis so it worked for them all round.

This is exactly what the sales guy told me last time I was in at the dealership. There will be no more CLK, but replaced with an E coupe. That makes the CLK Black Series something worth buying since one day it'll be priceless, just like the legendary 300SL back in the day..

I hate to see the CLK-Class to go. It was one of my all-time favorite European Two Doors.

I'm 50/50 on the new coupe body. I think they changed the CLK to the E-Klasse coupe, just to boost up the "class" of it.
