Looks like Honda Accord Coupe designers had their finger in the pie.
Too bad they could not come up with something as rich looking at the Audi A5
Lets hope that the drivetrain and handling package can rival the 3 series coupe

"annoyance" and "self-righteousness", amoung others...
salvaged? eeek. be careful what you're getting yourself into bro. and on top of that, if you're still going to have to pay something ridiculous for insurance... think it over. you could at least save enough to buy one outright so you could get liability only.
and i'd like to meet a chick who cares about boost lol.

.. it's red, it's missing the radio and a few other things that looked like they were removed when the owner stopped making payments. Ran a AUTOCHECK on the car, no accidents. Service history.checks. The insurance won't be a killer because no car installments to pay monthly.The car is in NY also, but it came from PA so I did the autocheck because salvage history doesn't always follow the title everywhere it's registered that's why "TITLE WASHING" is against the law. If anyone doesn't know what title washing it google it.

It is obvious that the 'leaked' pictures of the upcoming C class coupe has been heavily photoshopped and certainly the scuttlebutt on the web (just not on this one) have been screaming Accord Coupe. I wonder if MB is going to do a bait and switch and the real car is more attuned to the the initial renderings released in 2009. Certainly these would be more instep with the corporate look of the fleet of cars and keeping with a lack B pillar that most of their coupes had save for the CLK 1st gen and the CLC.
Interesting note, look at the fogs/daytime running lights, 2 years ago it was showing the LED strip

white and whiter
marketing move.
the CLK w208 came out to "sort of" replace the original E-class coupe (w124) which was expensive to produce because it was actually using the w124 chassi and parts. the 208 CLK was based on the W202 chassi with a body shell that resembles the W210. as is the W209/203 to the W211.
the W212 E-class coupe is largely based on the W204 chassi as well except now the W212 E-class sedan also started sharing suspension components with the W204 to lower the overall cost through out all the line-up.
the "CLK" is killed off because MB has planned for the true W204 coupe which is coming instead of the CL203/204 franken-car hatch back. this way buyers don't have spent $55k plus cost when they wanted to buy a Mercedes coupe instead they can purchase a $35-40k+ Mercedes coupe that competes with the 3-series coupes.

Looks great but its too BMWish, looks a lot like the 3-Series but I gotta say though it looks so beautiful!! Thats my dream car, lol. Of course I gotta stick with my old 02' W203. Perhaps if I win the lotto I'll consider it, but for now what I have now will have to do...

White w203 C200K Elegance
I have to admit. I want a w204 for the first time ever. The updated model looks like a merc again. Since I have seen lots of them driving around, every time I see one I think "dang, want one"
The same can not be said for the pre-face-lifted w204, hated them from day 1, and still go on hating them.
