Exclamation Spy shots of W219 CLE Coupe

check out the posts of the "W219 CLE 4door Coupe"

Wild....





More at :MBSpy CLE

Seems to me that they are really stretching the nitch here....I think it would have made much more sense to have developed the new CLK on the new w211 chassis...with both Coupe and cab versions...I think it would have been a huge seller.
2 door not silly 4 door....I do prefer some of the look here over the w209 (wimpy hood profile and small wheel wells)...here the W216 comes across much more aggressive and powerful
but the 4 door is silly if you ask me...if I wanted 4drs I would just buy the 211.

hmmm wierd

If they want 4 door coupe i would hide the back doors.... so it would look like a coupe, but it would have 4 doors, like hide the back handles....that would be a great idea i think...

Originally they were going to use suicide doors in the design. Apparantly this opening was so large the car lost too much strucutral integrity which why they switched to the goofy little back doors.

The suicide door version seemed better to me than this one. I agree with jco-amg - if MB wanted a coupe based on the W211 chassis, why not base the new CLK on it?

Cheers, BT
