    I don't know. I don't see a market for these. With the CL in the area of the S class, and the E class is to replace the Clk.

    Mercedes-Benz will preview its new E-Class Coupe at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

    The new car, which will replace the CLK-Class, is a two-door 'sports-oriented luxury coupe' that includes traditional styling elements from Mercedes-Benz Coupes, such as an absence of a B-pillar and a radiator grille with the large central star, while at the same time reflecting the design of the forthcoming E-Class Saloon.

    There was a write up on the E CLass coupe in Limericks post last week. Opinions?

    The S-Class Coupe is going to be nothing more than a facelifted CL. The reason for the re-naming of the CL and the CLK is part of MB's plan to revert back to the nomenclature used in the good old days when Merc's were built with bank vault like build quality.

    What do you mean you don't see a market for them? They are just cars that are already around with a different badge.

    The CL is already a great success and is a car with no real rivals and the clk has always sold well and that is unlikely to change just because the name changes.

    I don't know lol. I decided to do a bit of research mid-post and found they were replacing other models.

    Nothing to see here, move along lol!

    If I ad the money I would be in the market. They will probably suffer from the fact that nobody has the spare cash, brilliant machines though

    This new 250 diesel engine has caught my eye. I think it will be big seller among Mercedes!
