The CLK does NOT share it's headlamps with the outgoing C Class. There is a subtle, but distinct difference. The CLK headlamps have more "swept-back" appearance, giving it a more aggressive look. Compare them next time you see the two cars next to each other. @Anthony: You’re absolutely wrong, mate! The CLK does NOT share it’s headlamps with the outgoing C Class.

Basically the car looks like E class, shares C class components, and drive like an E class. For these reasons, the price of the E class coupe is actually lower than the E sedan. Why would anyone want to purchase this? Those who like solid cars, the 2-dr look, and the 3-pt star. Everyone else should stick with the 3 series coupe or A5. Car and Driver just had a review.

With the CLK, they tried to associate it with the E-Class by using the same round-shaped headlights. Although it's named as "C"LK, but some some consumers thought that they were purchasing a E-Class based Coupe, because they share the same round-shaped headlights.

Who cares how good their V8's are when nobody wants to be seen driving their cars. Mercedes is rapidly losing touch with the luxury market as their cars just don't seem to offer much in the way of driving pleasure plus interesting styling. Only one I've seen that I would like is the C63 AMG - but that's it. The big rivalry is Audi and BMW now...sorry Mercedes. @D solomon:

The E-coupe is nice but the back end doesn't fit the front. Continue the process to complete the car. BMW complete their cars and continue to lead. Mercedes does have technology but all their car stating to look a like reguardless of C, E, CL what-ever. I think that Mercedes have ran out of creative measures in cars.
