Mercedes-Benz was going to officially reveal the 2012 C-Class coupe at the Geneva Auto Show in March, but some images have leaked thanks to a few European car sites.
There aren’t too many surprises with the styling. It receives the same updated exterior changes that the C-Class sedan gets. This includes a revised front facia with LED running lights. Out back the tail lights seem to be identical to those of the sedan (hit the jump for a rear shot) with new LED tail lights as well. The C-Class Coupe apparently will not share the omitted B pillar like the E-Class coupe does.
The overall look, while fairly attractive, is a bit uninspiring. It’s clear that Mercedes just decided to lose the extra doors for its C-Class coupe and that’s about it. BMW’s coupe version of the 3-series has many different styling upgrades to set it apart from its sedan twin. So does Audi’s A5.
Perhaps Mercedes is hiding the big surprise under the hood? More details will arrive in March.
