Love it! Even in red and I don't think MB's look good in red. I wonder if the 4-cylinder biturbo will come with a stick?

It looks significantly shorter lengthwise than the C-class sedan - is that accurate? BMW's thing was always that their coupes were lower and longer than the sedan. I think personally that it doesn't look that great...Looks like it sits way too high. Need more pics though.

Same wheelbase as C-sedan and 1.6 inches lower height so it will look pretty squat. No sure if it is longer or shorter but it must be pretty close in length. BMW coupes were usually only 1 or 2 inches longer and it was in the front/rear overhang.

Must just be these particular pictures then. So the roof is 1.6 inches lower? None of the pics I've seen do a good job showing that. That's a significant sacrifice in headroom though.

It should look great with a slight drop and an aggressive diffuser and front lip... *drool* This is a trade-in candidate for sure!

Looks like the ultimate chick car, I would guess 70/30 female to male ratio on ownership of this car.

Compounded by not offering manual transmissions any longer.

Love it in black, and love the wheels too!

The interior is a great refresh too. That alone makes me want to consider a trade.

Good work MB
