Look at the model on the table next to the pillar in the background. It is a coupe. Could this be the coming C Coupe? or the next CLK? The bumper looks like the one on the CLK sketch below, but the side is more subdued. It looks more like the side of the new C, although a little more defined.

This is definitely not a model of the current CL because the rear light seems to be a triangle that sweeps downwards, not upwards.

What do you guys think? Any news of the new C Coupe? Will it be a hatchback?
or it could be a C class but they havent cut the doors in yet

Somebody please get me if I'm wrong, but I believe the first W203 image is the Elegance model, and the 2nd is from the Avant Garde.

It's difficult to describe a "Dry" typeface without getting into a academic discussion that would be about as exciting as watching paint dry. The best I can put it is to say that "Dry" type lacks context, and is poorly weighted against its surroundings.

I just like to get on my soapbox about this because Mercedes has done a beautifully consistent job with their instrument clusters in the past, but have messed with the forumla in the past years with flat results.

Or future MB's won't have doors. You just teleport into them provided that you have the key on you.

But that arching side window is a dead giveaway of an MB coupe. Look, you can see dark window shut line.
