Merccord Coupe



Mercedes has just released shots of it’s new C-Class coupe, which kinda sorta replaces the CLK. Kinda because the CLK sorta became the E-Class coupe. Which is based off the C-Class, but looks like an E-Class. Although this seems a bit repetitive, the C-Class coupe is smaller and doesn’t have the pillarless window effect of the E-Class Coupe or it’s dramatic bodyside treatment and (excessive) front end details.

In the end it’s a sleek and clean design that looks quite nice. Unfortunately, it also looks a lot like an Accord Coupe (in particular the greenhouse and bodyside crease), which probably isn’t the demographic they’re looking for.
