Mercedes' desperate attempt to sell the Old-New CLC



Mercedes had created a dedicated video game for the Mercedes Benz CLC, aimed at young buyers who wanted a premium brand but with lower disposable income. You can logon to their UK website and download the 105MB game onto your PC if you have income levels lower than what's required to purchase the CLC.

The problem reason behind this is because Mercedes decided it would be too costly to develop a ground up Coupe model for the new C-Class. What have they done however, is truly brave, take the old C Class Coupe and RE-SKINNED it! There ya go! Mercedes Benz Old-New C-Class Coupe

Check out the real NEW Mercedes C-Class, which is not only damn good looking, but with a very sporty interior as well, and we'll follow up with the 'fake' New CLC. Click to view hi-res

Now coming to the CLC (C-Class Coupe), we must say Mercedes had done a fairly good job at the exterior, there are no hints of the old car in sight.





Only when you come to the interior, will one notice the similarity; of course there should be enhancements to the overall package, but what we could notice here, is only the steering wheel was changed to the new C-Class'.
