The best thing they could do is stop production , now they just made an embarashing error...

It's not really an error. The CLC is selling and that's the point of this car. Rack in a few sales, make some profit while the B-Class coupe is in development.

The CLC does feel like an old Sportcoupe with a few new touches here and there. Overall though it should hopefully be gone soon once the replacement B-Class coupe is ready.

The error is that they named it like it was a new model. If it was presented as a facelift it wouldn't feel like a cheap trick as it does now.

Yeah, I agree. That was kinda cheap but hey, it's working.
