Not feeling it...looks kind of like an accord coupe. Maybe with the AMG treatment it will look better
Like the interior and new v6, nice step forward.

ok looking, but doesn't have the pillarless doors, so our car still looks miles better, and
even the new CLS is styled to look like an E coupe

E350 Coupe
Kinda relieves my concerns that the C would look too much like our E's. It looks much chunkier and the hood doesn't appear as long. Overall not as sleak and sexy. It's to compete eith the BMW 3 series which I feel is boxy looking. Just my opinion on the 3 series not looking to start a side discussion on the merits of BMW design. Some people would strongly disaagree with me.

From the specs it looks like the C coupe will over 4" shorter and 10" narrower but about the same height as the E coupe. Also the C coupe will have a regular B pillar giving it a more standard coupe appearance. Side by side I would expect the E will in fact be much more appealing in appearance. That's not a knock on the C as it looks very good, though more compact, and should sell well to a different demographic buyer.

The width spec for the E at MB includes the exterior mirrors. The specs for the C at MB are silent about the mirrors. Presumably they are measuring the same way. If so there is a 10" difference.
