New C Class Coupe

CLK is the E class Coupe actually.
This is the C Class Coupe

the CL will become the S class coupe

No idea what the SL and SLK are however.

S class Roadster and E class Roadster maybe ?

No, the CLK was the C Class Coupe. It had a C Class interior, was built on a C Class platform and was priced to compete with the E46 Coupe. Don't be confused with the fact they always tended to give it a more similar front end to an E Class.

The car named 'C Class Coupe' and later 'CLC' was a 3 door hatchback, a-la 3 Series Compact. It was a Coupe only in name and was a massively bad car.

why has the CLK gone and been replaced with the E class coupe name then ?

i can quote sources till the house come home that MB have told the press that the E class coupe is a CLK replacement.

eg.

etc..
 
indeed

what the hell does the C class coupe do that the E class coupe doesnt

given that both appear to be built on the C class platform !

confused poster is confused :(
 
the CL is an S class based car iirc ?

So effectively its a 7 series coupe / A8 coupe

but neither of those exist so its more of a rival to cars like the Bentley Continental GT.
 
Trouble is

BMW 6 series = 5 series Coupe

Mercedes E class Saloon = 5 Series rival

Therefore E class coupe should = 6 series rival.

But its not, the E Class coupe is the old CLK which is a 3 series coupe rival.

3 series = C class rival.

So if the E class coupe is the 3 series coupe rival.

Where does the C class coupe fit ?
