German Car Zone

Yep, this copy-paste side bugs me a bit...Maybe the camo hides some subtle changes? The rear looked the same too, now we can see it surely has a part of the lights on the trunk...

This has to mean that they have deciced to drop the Sportscoupe from the lineup after this refresh. Otherwise it doesn't make any sense.

One of Brenda Priddy's spy shooters found themselves face to tri-bladed face with what appears to be a very lightly disguised 2010 Mercedes C Sportcoupé -- which we're told will be called the "CLC-Class." Although this replacement for the C-Class will be getting a few new letters added to the name to go along with the pretty new look, we're told it'll still be based on the chassis of the outgoing C‑class. We're also told that just like the chassis, the engine choices for the CLC will be the same as those found in the C-Class. But hey, it's got a pretty new look, doesn't it?

Oh no! I can't believe they're doing it again.

The C-Coupe, or whatever the hell it was called, was a soft seller in Germany, and a veriablte flop and embarrassment in the States. Why are they giving it another go? It's like a stain on the C-Klasse franchise.

Maybe they did better than I think?

The front, gorgeous. The rest of it FUGLY!! This is a C-class that didn't just get hit, but got smacked the F__K around by the ugly stick.

Like wearing a baseball cap with a tuxedo.

It stunk the first time around, and it stinks even more now. At least the old one had a more appropriate (yet still awkward) front end. This... just looks like the head should have a restraining order on the ass. Just because it can be done on the cheap doesn't mean it should be done - heck, the rear looks like it was held-over from the old model.

Maybe Benz feel confident with this design and therefore stick to the old design (with a few changes).

I just can't understand why they'd turn out such a half-arsed model after all their recent successes. Doesn't make any sense. This is the old car with the new C's nose and the old C's interior. Utterly ridiculous. Then to give it a new model designation, CLC is the ultimate insult to injury. CLC sound like something in the CLS/CL realm, not a budgeted smoke and mirrors rehash of a previous market failure.
