No, guys. It is W218, not "C". The platform on which the car is designed has changed. I do wish a forum like this would get these basic things right.

C is the designation used for coupes.
A= cabrio
C= coupe
R= roadster
S= estate
V= long wheelbase
W= standard/short wheelbase
X= extra long/special wheelbase

See also the references to the SL and SLK class coupes in this forum.
I could not find a reference in the MB USA site, but someone else might.

Seriously! Imagine if the BMW guys get ahold of this. They already criticize M-B enthusiasts for not being true enthusiasts, imagine what if they saw owners of said cars, nor a Forum representing them not even knowing the correct model designation!

They already have.... This is sad..... How can there be so much confusion over the model designation.
