It'll do well and will serve it's purpose till the all new model arrives in 2010.
The only move that would save the CLC is a 15% price cut. It's simply waaaay overprice, and the exterior design doesn't justify the price. Selling it for the same price as an A3 or 1er would be MB's best way of milking most bucks out this car model. Having seen it IRL in the best colour for any MB, black, I can't find any reason for me to desire the car. Price it too high and the rear end is horrific.

I agree. That it's based on OLDER componentry means they should be able to bring it to market at a very competitive price. I don't understand why they have positioned it above the A3 and 1 Series. Both are newer and better vehicles.

Yeah. The W203 reached break even long ago and the spare parts left are used for the CLC. Because of that MB should be spreading this thin like herpes by selling it at a highly attractive price trying to leech market share off the 1er and A3, as a spring board for the next generation A+B class.

Merceds was never cheap and will never be cheap no matter how bad of a car it is. If the price isn't steep than it's not a Mercedes.

I too don't like the CLC but if you look from the companys prespectice it's an absolute home run. Why on earth would they recycle all the parts when they can use them on this vehicle and also incorperate new elements.

WHAT! This car looks terrible, MB are not going to make any money on this car they have just wasted there time!! They could of designed something much better which will actually sell and make them a nice profit.


P.s you have to see this car IRL to get a full perspective of how bad it looks
