I doubt it. MBUSA didn't want this car to begin with... The dealers **** all over it. And they still sold a ton the first year. Advertising? What advertising?

This implies the Coupe is wrong. I disagree, but to some extent, agree MB botched several aspects. I love the styling, but think the AMG rear bumper should have been on every car. I like the performance, but given how MB marketed it, and the fact that its #1 direct competitor had more HP, MB should have upped the power at launch. I like the handling, but it should have had the AMG sways and the direct control package at launch. I think the manual is OK, but I agree its no Ferrari box.

No car is perfect. The power of the G35 eclipses the fact that the car is kinda generic in the styling dept, it rides poorly and is noisy inside, has a cheap 'panasonic plastic' interior, is pretty cramped. So, the lesson here to Benz is that 272HP will make us ignore everything you did wrong. Even the B Class. Well, only with get our C350 Coupes! :v


So, the CLK, CL, SLK, etc, all should be cancelled then? There volumes are small too.

That's a great post and I agree 100% with it. I wanted to buy a hatchback coupe and the C-coupe was the best one I could find. If I wanted a sedan, I would probably not be driving an MB. I've owned three MB sedans and they just don't appeal to me anymore.
