SOme of those angles look good... I like the idea of an E coupe... Not sold on that front spoiler but maybe it looks better in person... What's with that Black diamond looking thingy on the hood in the pic of the white car...? And are those LED Fogs in the spoiler...?

looks to me like a tape or whatever material they use for disguise, to cover what appears to be the 80 years old MB emblem

I like the looks, but again I have to say it reminds me of a Camry Solara or a Honda coupe. I guess there isn't too much you can do with a design...

Is this based on the C or E platform? I'd dig an E class sized coupe that was somewhere between the old CLK and CL.

The new Accord is an improvement over the eggshell look from early 2000's that's for sure.

I will say the only thing that doesn't appeal to my eyes on that E-class coupe are the rims.

Funny you should comment in this way...
I've been thinking the new C Class looks like a Honda for a while now.

The coupe does have a bit Honda Accord coupe look from the side. Although, that is one Honda that I always admire when I see. From the rear or side it is pretty nice. The E Coupe of course has a much better pillarless design and the window opening looks very reminiscient of a CL to me.

I wouldn't worry about rims yet, this is a Euro spec car and they always have a zillion rim styles for one car that we don't get.

Ya, don't like the rims either.

This is based off the E-class. I believe they will be coming out with a C-class coupe as well. The E-coupe will have more legroom than the current CLK and will have the E-class interior, unlike the CLK which has the w203 C-class interior.

CLK320 / E500

I have heard rumours of the CLK being discontinued, and with the introduction of an E-Class coupe that would pretty much solidify that. Overall, I would say... it's not too bad and I am sure it would grow on me if I had one.

I have heard rumors that this is because they expect the next generation C-Class Coupe (Called CLC in Europe) to be larger and more directly compete with the 3-series coupe.

Perhaps, but the Accord has a B-pillar. Big difference.

WTF is THAT?!?!?!?!

Glendale Armos? Well, speaking out for my fellow Armos around the world I must say that we do not all have taste like that. Unfortunitly, people always pick on the bad and never uphold the good.
