The glass roof on the coupe looks fantastic. I wish my 3-Series coupe was available with this option.

How hard is it to figure out now? Ignore the unedited headlines. The old CLK will become an E-Class coupe, period. the name changes, position it higher than the CLK, and they'll raise the price. At some point, I'm guessing they'll come out with another coupe model, smaller, either built on the C-Class platform or the A/B platform, position it lower than the E-Class, at a lower price point. This model will replace the mostly unloved C-Class coupe (hatchback).

Isn't the new CLK the E-class coupe? And isn't the SLK built on the C-class platform already? So the SLK is essentially the C-class coupe, right?

And a C-class coupe/roadster would different from the 3-door C-class hatch, huh? Confused, I am. Maybe the M-B site will be able to explain more....not!

What confuses me is, isnt this new "e class coupe" based on the new c class just like the old clk was. It is my understanding the new e class sedan is actually based on the last generation and the only thing similar about the clk replacement, and e class sedan is similar styling cues and the name.

There won't be anymore CLK coupe once the E-Class Coupe launches.
