What does Oppo think of the Mercedes E-class Coupe?

I personally like the majority of the body lines from this angle. The nose though has odd proportions to say the least. Best feature, it is a two door hardtop. No B pillar. WONDERFUL.

No complaints for the rear.

Best thing about this interior, so many colors to choose from. Not a monochromatic cave of darkness like so many cars on the market.

When I play with configurators I always go for the colors. It's a shame that the people that actually get these do not.

Looks beautiful. I love the front, it doesn't look odd to me.

All Benzes lately get a solid meh from me. I'm just not a fan of their designs.

No me gusta. The interiors are a bit cheap and too much plastic for a car in this price range.

Monster engine and hardtop. Yes, please! But this is the 550 so it does have TTv8.

That's why I posted. we need intellectual critiquing of cars.

Great for people who can't afford an S Class coupe.

At this point, plastic is inescapable. Interiors have been loaded with plastic for a long time. Also money doesn't go very far nowadays.

same chassis but different look. I had the 2010. And I've never driven this one. So Merc may have fixed all the issues I had. If so then great cause it is a sexy car!

A Challenger in a suit? That's it. A Challenger in a suit.

It is a great thing to look at. But I always know at the back of my mind that MB is a ways off from its legendary reliability of old.

ly2v8-Brian > BigBlock440

Yeah, but it a nice suit with a v8 tie and twin turbo cufflinks.

Manuél Ferrari > ly2v8-Brian
11/13/2014 at 21:36

It wasn't unreliable for the 3 years I had it. I had other complaints. Lots of little things that added up to make me not like it at all!

WHY ARE THERE TWO WINDOWS BEHIND THE DOORS ON A COUPE?!?!

WHY?:

ly2v8-Brian > Soloburrito
11/13/2014 at 21:40

Because there is a backseat so why not have useable windows.

I am on mobile. I gotta find my comment on it to send you. I did a detailed write up on another post.

Also this - instead of a new one of these you could spend more and get THE Merc coupe:

I thought you would like this 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG for $89,980 on AutoTrader.com

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > ly2v8-Brian
11/13/2014 at 21:53

I like everything but the face. And I'd probably get a convertible at that point, because that really is a cruiser.

ly2v8-Brian > Manuél Ferrari

Color? Was ist das? You know Mercedes only builds cars in light silver, medium silver, dark silver, medium grey, light grey, dark grey, black and sometimes white.

Nein, Sie haben viele Farben.
