I like it. Hope they smooth out a few of the creases here and there but overall a good look.

Looks... delish

I still don't understand why car makers produce Coupé versions of full sized sedans (apart from aesthetic reasons). IMHO, they don't offer any performance or practical advantages compared to their saloon counterparts. But I guess it's just that... people most likely to buy are the ones not looking for practicality

Nice find, RLE.

Looks good....better than the current CLK. My only issue is that little break in the rear window. I hope it goes down...; it looks out of place. But, I'd buy one it's 2nd year of production.

The Coupe of the E-Class is the new Clk!
The CLK was ALWAYS called "the COUPE of the E-Class"





Saw the Test-Car in Person... looks amazing...
can't wait to see it without the black stickers

CLK was traditionally based off of the C-Class, not the E-Class.

This is not an E coupe, MB is just going to rename the new CLK.

Corrent, the CLK was a very cheap replacement for the last true E coupe/cabrio, the C/A 124.

Well... if it IS going to be named an E Coupé, I hope they don't name it the ELK. That wouldn't sound very appealing.

2008 C300 Sport 4matic
the break in the rear side window looks odd, but otherwise I like it.

Sounds like MB is simplifing the model names to strengthen each of their classes.
I'm guessing there will be a coupe version for each class.
The CLK will become the E-coupe, the CL and SL becomes the S-coupe and S-cabriolet, and maybe the CLC will return to the U.S. as the C-coupe.

I'm hoping we will see the 4matic on more coupe (4matic on the new CL will be a first for a coupe), so that it will be more appealing in markets with winters and will give Audi quattros some competition.

Nobody driving a late model BMW has any business criticizing the styling of ANY other car.
