2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe

By Chuck Giametta

What's new about the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe? Mercedes blends elements of its midsize E-Class and compact C-Class cars to create this suave new two-door replacement for the CLK coupe. Styling has E-Class cues, and powertrains are shared, too: the E350 coupe has a 268-horsepower V-6, the E550 coupe a 382-horsepower V-8; both have rear-wheel drive and a seven-speed automatic transmission.

Should I Consider It? Yes. It’s larger, prettier, and better-equipped than the CLK, yet priced no higher. And this is a true pillarless hardtop. Wunderbar!
