A number of two-door coupes, wagons, and SUV coupes are destined for discontinuation.
Based on what we've seen, of the 33 body styles Mercedes currently offers between Europe and the U.S., only 14 will survive.
New generations of GLE and GLC Coupes will debut in the coming years, but after that, their lineages will also end. (Certainly this means the GLE SUV has one more generation, as well)

Found the article tho: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a4...s-killed-soon/

Not surprising.. the comments on that article seem to place the decision entirely on MB itself but I assume a lot of it has to do with the new regulations. Fleet emissions requirements and 100% carbon-free by 2035 make it really hard to have a diverse portfolio.

The body styles we lose now will probably come back in the future as EVs

Link fixed.

It's sad, but I can't really say I'm surprised. True coupes (i.e. 2-doors) no longer sell well enough to justify the investment, and the line between wagons, hatchbacks and crossovers continues to blur more and more as the industry transitions to EV's. And now that the Benz EQE and EQS SUV's both resemble suppositories, the crossover "coupe" body style has become redundant. I mean, how much "swoopier" could an EQE SUV Coupe be?

​​​​​​Drag coefficient <0.17 would be swoopier.
That automatically extending tail is quite the swoopy look....
