Mercedes-Benz To Launch Sportcoupe And Cabriolet Versions Of New C-Class

Mercedes-Benz will launch a Sportcoupe and cabriolet version of its new C-class as part of an expanded model range.

Slated for sale from 2015 is a C-class liftback, which insiders hint will resurrect the Sportcoupé nameplate. But unlike the earlier three-door Sportcoupé based on the third-generation C-class, the new one will receive a five-door layout similar to the Audi A5 Sportback and BMW 3-series GT.

Details remain scarce, although sources suggest the new C-class Sportcoupé will use the same lengthened wheelbase as the Chinese-market C-class saloon, providing it with additional levels of rear seat legroom over the standard saloon, estate and coupé models set to be offered in the UK.

It is starting to look like a squashed bug as they compact the design.

Honestly...looks a lot better than the 3GT or 4GC an that's enough to allow to take the lead even if the rear seat have less space than bimmers...
