Here it is... I'm not sure if it's CLC or CLK (it says CLK but shouldn't it be CLC?)

I like the sedan more, but then again, it's an artist's rendition, so it may look different then that. In any case its better then that ugly thing they used to have...

Here's another one...

I hate how they make the trunk so highup in this one, it's like the last C Coupe, which I really didnt like :P

woedee

fugly (imo)

Illusive

The second link is the CLC in Europe. Saw it while I was in Paris, man is it ever ugly...

aowhaus

not a great illustration.
looks like a 2009 CLK with a C-class front and rear end.

The second link is the current Europe-only CLC-class, which is a mildly restyled version of the 2002-2004 C230 sports coupe we had here.

Here's a couple of my own p-shop renderings of what I think the CLC/C-class coupe should look like:

Mbtech22117

The first one is the 207 chassis aka 2011 e class coupe. the clk is no longer. second is clc

TheDarkSide

I believe the first one is just a photoshopped C Class not the E coupe.

My hutch is the facelift version of c-class (2011?) will be more like the new 2010 e-class coupe..
it might get simlar headlight & led fog light, different led tail light and the major change for the interior I can see is ditch the raising/lowering MM screen w/ stationary type..

That jalopnick pic is the existing CLC with some very minor fiddling.

ctgilles

CLK = E Coupe
CLC = C Coupe

Don't like the CLC's rear. Really feeling the new E Coupe though :o

TB5...

i always thought our cars would look amazing as a long base 2 door...


but WTF is this shiit they are doin with it especially the back... looks weak.

cjh.

I just vomited a little bit. The CLC more awkward than a teenage girl. It's rear is flat and big then the front is low and short. The roof line does nothing for it either.

The "CLK" doesn't look as bad but MB needs to use different tail lights on it. Imagine a BMW 335i coupe with sedan taillights- not good.

I'll happily stick to my sedan...

I think I'm the only one here that thinks the CLC looks ok.
The design has been around for ages, the CLC just added a C-class front end and a crisper rear end -- my only gripe is that what goes on inbetween still looks very dated.

It's nice that the E-coupe is in the same league as the E-class sedan, just like the S-class and CL-class (probably renamed the S-class coupe, but don't call it a Scoupe because that was an unfortunate Hyundai model). That would make room for a C-class based coupe, hopefully a sporty hatchback model that would compete with the Audi TT/A3 and the BMW 1-series.

One thing for sure, I'm happy that MB is totally phasing out the peanut shaped headlights.

Razorecko

WHy? I mean WHY ?? is mb taking desing cues from hyndai ??

aowhaus

No, I meant that Hyundai has a model called Scoupe (back in the early 90's)
The MB S-coupe is mighty close sounding, but luckily most people won't remember the Hyundai Scoupe.

That looks just as bad as the last C-class coupe! Why won't they stop making those hideous hatchbacks and just make a decent loking coupe?! Hell BMW and Audi figured out how to do

mdniteangel

I like it.

joshg1001

there will not be a C class coupe. the new E class coupe is built on the w204 platform, which is why they can price it cheaper than the sedan.

the CLC doesnt count. its hideous plus, it as the interior of the old w203, so it really isnt a new coupe

but i was only referring to the US market

Glyn M Ruck

The CLC is just a 203 coupe with new front fenders, lights, grill & hood. New plastic panel on the hatch & new tail lights. All metal panels at the rear are identical to the old C Coupe. I posted a whole thread on updating your C Coupe to CLC on the W203 forum. It's actually quite cheap to do.

RabbitDad

That CLC is just so sad. Whenever I see someone driving one, I think to myself that they must be an idiot - paying over the top money for the old and horrible C Sportcoupé which just had a slightly more modern (W204 inspired) faced painted on it. Probably not the effect they were hoping for, driving around their 'sporty', 'premium' coupé. Why anyone would choose one over a BMW 1-series coupé is a mystery to me (and that's not exactly a looker either).

ismeto

we are

patrickkc

looks exactly like the old c-class coupe same design! just differnt tail and headlights

Glyn M Ruck

Yes - under it all it's the same chassis & car - cheap facelift

patrickkc

and also looks exactly the same interior wise as well,,, I believe haha
