Tiny rear window plus large glass roof leads to awkward looking roof split. Anyone else think it should just be full glass?

Still 1000X better than this.

Yeah, that’s not too great looking, but I think it looks better.

My biggest gripe is just Why Does This Exist?

People want to go fast, but they don’t want to go that fast (or pay a fuckton of money).

I bet it has something to do with structural integrity

Isn’t that what the SLK was always for? Or is this replacing SLK the same way the E-Coupe replaced the CLK? (or do both still exist).

I’m not trying to be a weirdo, Mercedes has just been confusing the hell out of me for the past few years.

If I ever got one, I’d just wrap the metal roof panel gloss black. Problem solved.

Its replacing the old C-Class coupe.

Its the A5/4 series competitor, the SLK goes against the Z4/TT.

There was an old C-Class Coupe? I live in the heart of Merc country and have never, ever seen one before.

You are talking about the US, right?

Sorry, this is seriously blowing my mind. I feel like I just got out of prison or something, not like I’m a free man who spends hours a day on auto blogs.

Overall looks better, but that stupid c pillar/roof rail/cross bar bugs the shit out of me. Its not a pretty shape.

the C coupe is replacing/has replaced the CLK. the CLK may have looked E-class based because of its headlights, but it was always based on the C-platform (i think).

I believe that’s right. The CLK always confused me because it was priced very much like the E-Class, so I always just assumed a relation there.

It’s the Mercedes WRX to the C63's STI
