C-Class [Spyshots] 2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe (C205) - Spy Pics & Info


The Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a series of compact executive cars produced by Mercedes-Benz Group AG. Introduced in 1993 as a replacement for the 190 (W201) range, the C-Class was the smallest model in the marque's line-up until the W168 A-Class arrived in 1997.
Someone usually posts what the reveal date is, but no one knows and none of the article hint at a possible reveal date. Between this C Coupe and the S Cabrio we're going to be spoiled in a few weeks I'm hoping.

The new C class is a very nice looking car, better than almost all in this segment except maybe the 3 series exterior-wise and interior is the best so the coupe version should look very good as it is almost a copy at the front.

However, the S class sedan and the coupe look nothing like each other and the coupe styling is exclusive to itself and can be a motivating factor in selecting it over S class sedan. More exclusivity is therefore guaranteed for the S coupe customer over the sedan. The C coupe is looking like an exact copy of the sedan up front because the same sports grille is also available for the sedan. So no matter how good the design of the new C is I feel the coupe version should have been a "bit" differentiated at the front also to make it an exclusive design.

I agree some more styling differentiation would've been nice, but MB does have to put a cap on the price. This direction makes sense given cost restraints.
 
The new Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupé will be revealed alongside its Mercedes-AMG sibling in 26 days from now (meaning approx. 20th or 21st of August).

I really don't see the point of this striptease. Everyone has a pretty good idea of what this thing is going to look like. They may as well just release the official pictures out now. I don't understand why car makers are starting to do this slow striptease with most of their cars. It leaves no room for the 'wow' factor at auto shows anymore.

I'm still wowed at auto shows. The auto show unveiling usually show the car in a different way that allows you to pick up on subtleties lost in pictures. I would've never noticed how flat (besides the headlights) the GLC's front end is, for example.
