While BMW offers two alternatives to the traditional 3-Series sedan (the 3-Series Gran Turismo and 4-Series Gran Coupe), Mercedes-Benz has so far avoided experiments with the C-Class.
For now, the brand with the star only offers the C-Class in sedan and estate body styles, but a two-door coupe is on the way as well.
But what about a four-door coupe or liftback? Photoshop manipulator Theophilus Chin took the liberty of creating such a model that looks more like a rival for the 3-Series GT than for the 4-Series Gran Coupe. I can’t comment on the execution, as the rendering looks spot on, but I honestly hope Mercedes-Benz will stick to traditional body styles and not build a 3-Series Gran Turismo rival.
With one exception: a CLS-style four-door coupe. That I would like to see, although Mercedes-Benz is already selling a mini-CLS that is called CLA. Still, there could be enough room between the CLA and CLS for a C-Class based rival of the BMW 4-Series Gran Coupe.
