I'm with you 100%. On coupes/roadsters I think its a good fit, but it looks awful on the sedans (especially the C-sedan). Its much classier and balanced with the standard grille.

All I know is, every one I know that I've asked so far have said they really dislike the rear of the coupe. There are many different cars out there and most illicit little reaction, but somehow with the coupe...

Personally, I really love the front of the MB sedans!! They curve so naturally, sexy and sporty. The only other car that I give such high praise to is the Jag S Type! However, I think the rear of the MB sedan is just plain hideous!! It's absolutely boring. The coupe's rear end is even worse, but that's just my opinion...

then you must hate a lot MBs because they all use the same formula for the rear

I like C230 coupes rears in black.

I at first thought the rears of them were nothing special, but it grew on me and now i can honestly say i love the way it looks.

So what you are saying is the back of the coupe resembles the *** of a really fat chick at first you are really disgusted by looking at it but as time passes you want to slam it just once to see how it would feel? Is that what you are trying to say? I bet you’re a chubby chaser :p

04 230k sedan
Here are my choices

IMHO, The sedan looks better than the coupe, there is no comparison. If I were to choose a coupe, I would again choose BMW (although '04's are looking lame) or a CLK.

Haha, I never said the rear of the coupe looks fat. I actually mean the rear if the Coupe in black, debadged so its not so busy looking, lowered with nice exhaust can make it look great! Its probally why i love it so much. I seriously think its one of the nicest Mercedes out there.

I know I'm gonna catch schitt for this BUT..if MB didn't come out with the c230k sedan this year I would be driving an '03 325i or 1.8T A4 Quat. I'd done so much research on those two because last year when I was starting to shop the only thing MB had that I thought was worth considering was the c240, and I wanted more road feel and response. I never looked twice at the coupe, I think the back end is horrible......I just don't like hatchbacks

HOWEVER...if the c230k coupe was more like a 325Ci; ie. with a trunk, I just might have to run back to the dealer to trade-in...

I guess I would l have to say Coupe - sense I bought one.

When I was test driving cars, I told my wife I test drove a 330 BMW sedan. She said I had better not buy a sedan - said I did not look right driving a sedan. She is right - just don't like 4 doors. I suppose it came from my hot rod days when you were very uncool if you rodded a 4 door. And, I have driven sports cars sense day one.

Yea the rear is different, but I have grow to like it. And, it holds all kinds of stuff. No other Coupe I drove could go to Sams with 5 people, fill a cart to overflowing, then haul it all home.

If someone gave me a sedan - I would be very happy with a C320

perhaps, but a 20th Anniv GTI hatchback would hold more!..

GTI
Luggage Cap. 18 Cu. ft.
Max Cargo Cap. 42 Cu. ft

MB C320

Luggage Cap. 9.9 Cu. ft.
Max Cargo Cap. 38 Cu. ft.

I know its a coupe by definition, but lets be real...its a hatchback, no different in function than a GTI or Civic. They should discontinue the hatchback and just make a trunk model coupe...now that would be beautiful from the front AND the rear, and it wouldn't take any getting used to.

I want both! I drove the coupe for the first time at the C spot party and I loved it! Its different and feels more nimble. There are days where I would want the sedan type feel and other days where I want something smaller. Hmm. Do I see a c coupe in my future? Haha.
