Here are, gathered in a single post, links to reviews by British car mags of the 2005 C-Class. Though these reviews are freely available online from these magazines' websites, some of these links cannot easily be found.

These articles are the same as appeared in the print editions (I bought those for my records as well). I found them quite useful when I bought my car this Summer.

"This must be the wedgiest Mercedes ever, and one of the most daring-looking. A bulge just behind the very forward-set front wheel-arch flows into a steeply-rising waistline, and the impression of forward movement is signed off by tail-lights whose side view makes the rear wing terminate in a kind of fishtail. The sill curves out and down just ahead of the rear wheels, further emphasising the wedge shape. As usual in a modern Mercedes, the indicator side repeaters are LEDs in the door mirrors. Several wheel designs are offered as standard or Evolution items, but the Coupe's shape works best with fat wheels and the Evolution ride height. The entire underside is clad in glassfibre panels to improve airflow and stop corrosion.

Great info.

I love wedgies !!!!

Here is a fifth review to which I forgot to post a link:

Top Gear's review (general overview of 2005 C-class and review of a C230k SC with stick shift)

There are four (small) pics of a pewter Sport Coupe with non-US wheels in this one. For those interested, the second and third pics are much larger in the mag -- assuming you can still find it. If you have trouble accessing the TG online review using the above link, then you can search for it manually at:

that's always been my favorite thing about the look of my car aside from citron green, the wedge shape it has! to me it give the car a stout, squatty and sporty look.
