Mercedes Benz E-class Coupe

[Ian Botham]

Mercedes Benz is marching onward in its future styling direction with the introduction of the 2010 E-class Coupe. The CLK-coupe name disappears and the replacement will be called the E-class coupe.

Naturally, the E-Class coupe draws heavily on the styling of the 2010 E-Class sedans with the intention of was unveiled to the press at the Detroit Auto Show. Gone is the familiar four-oval front end.



In its place is a sharper more angular nose with four pointy diamond-like, headlamps and LED running lights with the intention of peek out from the subsidiary fascia. Unlike the sedan, on the other hand over, the coupes be dressed in the three prong luminary in the fencing only.

The coupe side view has misrepresented much from the outgoing CLK. The roof is now so curved, you would be hard hard-pressed to balance a ball on it. In fact, flat panels are few and far between, more than ever by way of the busy rear sector panels. Chrome trim encircles the side windows which pursue a basically lingering curve along the roof line. Out back, the car's hind quarters are vaguely suggestive of Audi's A5, an impression only encouraged by the insertion of LED taillights.
