It looks better than the current Honda Civic coupe. Does anyone here agree?

Hey man, I used to own one of those! This is way uglier than a civic coupe.

+1 about the front, i really like the aggressive look of the front on the new C-class but the rear is ugly as hell. same with the previous model. looks like a hatchback not a coupe.

I actually think that the sedan's front is more aggressive than the coupe's.

I like it... it resembles the corrado from the 90s (one of the most beautiful cars ever made IMHO)...

as for the interior... you guys do know that this car is the W203 and not the W204. To cut costs, they never created a W204 coupe. So this is the same car with that traded in its Perry Ellis suit for an armani suit so to speak.

That's what I said earlier, the car's based off of the w203. I still think it's ugly regardless. Then again, we all have opinions.

As for the interior, I don't think that the fact that it's based off of the w203 means that they have to skimp on interior design. The seats are possibly the blandest I've ever seen, the transmission knob is outdated looking, etc etc. It's just dissapointing that Benz released the w204, which is a marked improvement over its predecessor, and then goes and shovels this out. Meh.

Benz doen't have the engines to keep up. The 350 would be a good 128i competitor, but it'll probaly cost 8k more.

The only engine they make that could keep up with the 135i would be the 5.5l V8 with 382hp. That would probably give it a decent run, and cost as much as an M3.

I don't understand what they are doing with that car looking like that!!
The C class is to compete with the 3 series. However, their 2-door looks like its competing with a Ford Fukus! I mean, seriously!!! why can't they make a nice looking 2 door with some F-in power! it's either no power or AMG SUPER 600+ HP Power! what is up with that?!
