Despite shedding a pair of doors, the coupe still rides on the same 108.7-inch wheelbase as the sedan, and is only a half-inch shorter and 100 pounds lighter.

The new C-Class Coupe is almost the splitting image of the C-Class sedan, and even uses the same front fascia and fenders as its four-door siblings. Exterior styling is certainly handsome, if not predictable. Instead of competing against Audi A3s, this C is gunning directly at BMW's 3-Series Coupe.
