Also, the old W203 chassis was just fine - after the facelift. I think we can expect some modifications that will make the C204 Sportcoupé a much better ride than ever before. The facelifted C203 Sportcoupés were pretty decent overhere. ![]()

![]() | Re: Spy pics: new MB C-class Sportcoupe I didnt have a problem with the c-coupe...I thought it was a good looking car for a young professional who maybe wanted a c-class but preferred the 2 door. But I heard there were many problems with the sportcoupe so maybe thats why it wasnt a big seller but if MB fixes all major problems are made the sportcoupe like the new c-class, then i think it will sell many of these coupes. Coupes are in high demand, BMW, Audi and even now vw with the eos are all creating "affordable" coupes. I think MB should give the c-sportcoupe another chance only with a sharp looking new bodystyle and less problems I dunno, just my 2 cents. Hopefully the sportcoupe will be arriving in north america. Does anyone know if MB will bring the coupe to north america? |

Back in 2005 (when the C-coupe was still available in Canada), here were the prices (Cdn $) of some cars of interest: C230 Sport Coupe: $36450 C320 Sport Coupe: $40600 C230 Sedan: $37950 C240 Sedan: $42250 C320 Sedan: $53970 CLK320 Coupe: $63490 CLK500 Coupe: $77750 E320 Sedan: $72050 E500 Sedan: $83500 At least in North America, the CLK was priced WAY above the 3 series coupe/sedans (which had prices very similar to the C-coupe and C-class sedans). Maybe in other markets like Europe, the CLK could be bought for cheaper because some lower end engines were offerred. We never had cars like a CLK240 or CLK200 over here. As such, I still maintain that Mercedes is not using the CLK to compete with the much cheaper 3 series, at least in North America. The CLK has always been marketed as a higher end luxury coupe. But having said all this, I have always thought the W209 CLK was overpriced for what you got, especially when you know it was actually based on the W203 C-class.

![]() | Nasty C-Coupe One of the local car-rent companies that provides cars to one of the local dealers picked up a few C-coupes (if you can't sell them...) and I drove at least three of them as service loaners. The car has so many bad features that it's hard to know which was worst. Probably that supercharged four-cylinder rock crusher up front was it's worst feature. Very unseemly for an MB, even the bottom-feeder Coupe. And then there were the four-shades-of-black interiors. I will not mention the looks of the thing. |

CLK350 - $46,975 CLK350 Cabrio - $54,975 335i Coupe - $40,600 330i Convertible - $44,900 (old bodystyle) They're close, but not head on....The CLK is really in between the C/3-Series Class and the E/5-Series class in most configurations. The CLK63 Cabrio is a whopping $89,975, way overpriced IMO. M
