The current Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe (http://autoblog.com/model/e-class+coupe) may be too large to rightfully compete with the likes of the BMW 3 Series (http://autoblog.com/model/3+series) and Audi A5 (http://autoblog.com/model/a5), but the Silver Arrow is rectifying that with the new-for-2012 C-Class Coupe (http://autoblog.com/tag/c-class+coupe) - a revival of the old CLK (http://autoblog.com/tag/clk), if you will.
Aside from the slightly lower roofline and the removal of two doors, the C Coupe is exactly like its newly redesigned sedan (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/12/22/officially-official-2012-mercedes-benz-c-class-gets-new-four-cy/) brethren. There are three powertrains on tap, including a new 201-horsepower 1.8-liter turbocharged inline-four in the C250 and the direct-injected, 304-hp V6 in the range-topping C350. Well, range-topping for now - the sure-to-be-badass C63 AMG (http://autoblog.com/model/c63+amg) Coupe is set to debut in the very near future. Yeah, we're salivating.
Still, the more pedestrian C-Class Coupe will make up the vast majority of sales, and we're glad to see a modern-day CLK in production once again. Scroll through our gallery of high-res shots below and take it all in.
