Mercedes-Benz E-class Coupe coming with the same price tag as the sedan

GOOD! cuz that is suppose to be how it was always suppose to be... raising the sticker on a 2 door compared to 4 door makes absolutely no sense... that proabably also explains why the sailes were so poor for the CL coupe compared to the S-class sedan

I think it looks good, but there are things that need improving... maybe it just looks too long for a coupe?

I think some out of work civil engineers were hired by merc design b/c that silhouette would make a beautiful bridge.

The new E Class coupe's design looks a bit "forced." It lacks elegance, which the previous CLK did have. Unfortunately, it looks like the back end is going faster than the front; as a result, it has something of hiccup appearance, as though it's bending vertically in the middle. And those taillights... they appear lifted from a recent Hyundai or Mitsubishi. Probably the best-looking vehicle in the new range will be the wagon.

The outside is pretty sleek but the interior is ugly. It's the same as the current (new) C class. Not terrible but cheaper looking and feeling than the current E Class.

I'm actually debating whether or not to order one and sell my current car. I currently drive an '06 C230 (V6) 6 speed, which I love, but I am in the market for something sporty with two doors, elegant and safe and being satisfied with my current car made me look at Mercedes again. I like the attention to detail in Mercedes cars, how every bit of the interior is used to create as much space as possible for occupants (in my experience).

With the new coupe, I like what I am seeing and I look forward to seeing it in person. That should convince me.

Pricing aside... the picture that accompanies this thread is NOT flattering in the least, as a matter of fact the E-Coupe pictured looks quite unattractive/ungainly. Let's hope it makes a better visual impression 'in the metal'.

It's not good looking i'm afraid, the lines do not flow well, the competition will eat this thing.
I would personally hold out for a Jaguar XF 2dr Coupe, if the sedan version of the Jag looks as cool as it already does, imagine how hot the coupe version will be!

I love this car. I was wondering what I was going to trade my CLK in for and this is definitely it! Can't wait to see the E in person.
