the CLC is in the W203/CL203 forum. It's still on the same chassi as the CL203/C-sportcoupe. They didn't engineer from the w204 because they know this car won't be a great seller for them to be profitable using the new underpinning.

The CLC merely has an all new front and rear end on an otherwise unchanged first gen C-sports coupe.
I actually like the original C-coupe back in the day, and the restyled CLC is nice but still an ancient car.

If I could design my CLC it would be like this:

Picture an CLC65 AMG with styling inspired by the CL, with frameless glass, pillarless b-pillars, and a sleek raked stance. It will definitely be a A3 and 1-series eater... the ultimate pocket rocket!

The CLC is a (CL) 203 body car looking a bit like a 204.

I have always been a fan of hatches but there is slim pickings in the States. Nice PS job...I would have been looking if they had something like that!!

It was a great job on the Photoshop, but lets face it, you didn't have much to work with there. Yes there are some that like the hatch style, but for me it just doesn't look right on a Mercedes.

For those wanting a true coupe, there are still rumors floating around of a true C class coupe (with a real trunk). Yes the CLK is technically a C class coupe, but it has always been billed more as an E class coupe. The rumor mill states the CLK will take on more of the E class styling and be called...E class coupe lol. This opens the door for the C class coupe and possible convertible, although I really doubt the market for the latter as there is already a CLK and SLK in the same price point.

i personally like the look of the CLC , however I find it a poor marketing attempt by MB to intro " a new model" as it is simply a W203 with a W204 facelift.

I rather look forward to the upcoming E-class coupe
