2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe has been unveiled in the metal at the Geneva Motor Show, looking identical to the facelifted C-Class sedan, except for two less doors, more steeply-raked A-pillars, a different grille and a lower ride height. The dash architecture is carried over from the sedan unchanged.

The all-new Mercedes coupe will be offered in five variants in Europe upon launch in June: the C 220 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY with a 170 hp, 400 Nm 2.1-litre four-cylinder engine; the C 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY with a 204 hp, 500 Nm 2.1-litre four-cylinder engine; the C 220 BlueEFFICIENCY with a 156 hp, 250 Nm 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine; the C 250 BlueEFFICIENCY with a 204 hp, 310 Nm 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine; and the C 350 BlueEFFICIENCY with a 306 hp, 370 Nm 3.5-litre V6 engine.

The U.S. market will only get the C 250 BlueEFFICIENCY and the C 350 BlueEFFICIENCY, while Malaysia is expected to get the former as the only C-Class Coupe variant, one tasked with stealing sales from the Audi A5 Coupe and the BMW 3-Series Coupe.

Proton Inspira 2.0 Executive

Proton has introduced an Executive version of its 2.0 litre CVT Inspira – the variant replaces the 1.8 CVT Executive in the model lineup, slotting in between the 2.0 CVT Premium and 1.8 MT Executive. Most of the kit found on the 2.0 Premium is on the 2.0 Executive – from the steering wheel audio switches and paddle shifters to the auto light and rain sensors, it’s all here. What’s different, based on the feature specifications list, is that the Executive’s seats and door trim finishing is in fabric (as opposed to the Premium’s leather fitment), the wipers don’t feature automatic speed adjustment and the bodykit has been omitted. Fresh to the car is a new 16-inch wheel design. As for exterior colours, there’s no Plum Red for this one, with the Premium’s shade being replaced by Elegant Brown; otherwise, Tranquility Black, Genetic Silver and Solid White are shared by both variants. The revisions make for a significant drop in the asking price over the Premium variant though – the 2....
