I don't understand why everybody here seems to hate the SC and to hate the idea of it based on the W203!
I've always liked the SC, quite good-looking car especially withe the giant panorama roof.
Sure it would have been better to base it on the W204, but honestly the real target of this car was the Young peaple, disliking vans (like A and B class) and without enough money to buy a CLK. These young people would naturally buy a C-Class, once having a family, etc...
Trouble is, it was overpriced for that category.
So the idea of a W203-based, but lower-priced Sportcoupe seems rather good to me!!! If the price is low enough, it could be a very good entry-level Mercedes!
Honestly, I would even take a W-202 Sportcoupe over an A-class!!!!

I hate these vans, too high and with a strange driving position, more noisy ans less comfortable, with a less comfortable interior too...
Concerning the facelift, well the rear will be different too because it will loose that bit of plexi on the higher part of the case door (hayon?); the rear will be more conventionnal, but more modern too.
The front will be fully different...
My only concern is the side, hope there will be some changes here too... And for the interior, don't know if it will be W204 but I'm sure it will be improved too.
Wait and see!!! But the idea doesn't sounds that stupid to me!!
