2009 E class coupe




Ok so the E class was released not so long ago, but wait? what is that? they have a coupe edition? yes, a whole new concept. I must say, they have done a good job with the car. I like the C class quite a lot, and hit has some of that in it. The headlamps are for some reason uncorrelated, which makes it seem like mercedes tried to hard to come up with a new style. the contours along the side are very attractive, whether they were put there for aerodynamics or not. The car will get the same engine treatment as the rest of the mercedes' out there, 4, 6, and 8 cylinders.
Here is the question though, why a coupe of the E class, when you have one for the C, the CL, SL, SLK, and CLK? would you make a coupe out of the equivalent 5 series BMW? Thats where things start looking clearer. You see what i think is that MB realized that BMW is making a hell-ova profit from the 3 series coupe, which is why this looks quite similar.
all in all however, i see it as a better looker than the beamer 335i (still, M3 all the way)
