New C-Class Coupé Released

I'm assuming this is what they'll have in DTM next year. V8 gone, 4.0T

The C300 is not the enemy.


EDIT:

Looks like the mods moved it...

Thanks though, I was wondering what the ass on this thing would look like.... As I thought, it looks like a VW Passat.

It's a crap car. Looks like a redesigned A5. Then again, this is a BMW forum.

Looks great from some angles, a bit weird from others. I don't love the hatchback-like rear.

Agree that the 'tablet' sticks out a bit, but compared to the regular 3/4-series interior this is MILES ahead. The M3/4 interior looks nice with full leather and all but I sat in a regular 4-series today (loaner) and the interior feels like a pile of plastic junk. I can't believe people spend >$40k for a 4-series and are ok with that interior.

Agree on the tablet look, disagree on the 4 series feeling. I also had a loaner and it felt really good. Bottom line is that they are all a pile of plastic nicely put together.

Is this a CLA 250 coupe?

No, C-Class. The C63 is the one in camouflage. 4.0T. 469bhp on that, 503bhp on the S.

Ok, not too impressed with the center console. Too shinny and lots of "trim around the trim". Very elegant but I like it more sporty. I will take it though but sell it the next day

I want to like it but I just can't, looks like a hatchback from some angles but a bulbous unsporty one and a new Accord in others.
This car will need some fender flares to make it anything, but of course AMG won't, so keep it. The RS5 seems to win the looks battle of the coupes for me, if I were in the market for one.

New C-coupe looks really good. A mini S-class coupe, which I think is one of the better looking coupes available.

To be honest it looks a class above the base 4-series.

Supposedly the C63 coupe is getting bigger flares and wider track than the sedan(front and rear). Also more rubber.

Rear end looks like my VW CC. It looks nice on the VW but shit on the Merc. Go figure.

Bloody hell that's hideous. The sedan looks so good, why are they unable to make a decent looking small coupe? Looks like an Accord Coupe and Passat got together

Not bad, but why does this from the side and back make me think think of Audi?
