SPIED: Mercedes-Benz's C-Class COUPE To Take On The A5 AND 328i Directly?

For years, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class was lacking a true two-door competitor.

Sure, for a brief period of time, there was a C-Class compact coupe that didn't really kill U.S. sales. Still on sale in Europe and known as the CLC, it will be getting a proper replacement, finally.

Now the spied C-Coupe we are seeing for the first time is something that looks like it could possible lure buyers away from their Audi A5 2.0t or BMW 328i.

The lightly camouflaged C-Coupe mule, you can essentially get a good look at what the final design will look like if you take your time looking at the fine details in its design. Likely, it will roll out when the C-Class get its refresh featuring some updates in form of LED running lights and some other doodads.

It looks like the 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe will have a short-lived spotlight...

Does a Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe make sense to you?


The C-cret is out. Snapped virtually undisguised for the first time is the Mercedes C-Class Coupe. The newcomer replaces the ageing CLC and is set to join the C-Class range early next year when facelifted versions of the saloon and estate arrive.

The new coupe will retain the front and rear ends from the C-Class saloon whilst featuring just two-doors and a unique roofline and windows. What remains disguised is the rear side window which is expected to feature a distinct design trait unique to Mercedes, in the same vein as BMW’s Hofmeister kink...

It could do well, pending price point of course. I think they should skip the coupe and do a hard top convertible. Just like Lexus did with the IS series. They definitely have a very hefty lineup.

It appears to have a B-pillar. Too bad, that is one of the classic and enjoyable features of most MB coupes.

I agree w/o the b pillar it makes the car look that much more sexy especially with the windows down gives it a uniform sleek look and thats one of the reasons i always like the S-Class Coupe(W140) and the CL

Well, it may draw away some potential 328i coupe buyers but those looking at a 335i won't cross shop unless Benz gives the car some whooomph.
