Still a favorite design from the early 2000’s, the awkwardly beautiful Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe was sold in the U.S. from 2002-2005. It was positioned to make the brand more accessible to first time buyers, however it was widely criticized for its un-luxurious, albeit durable, interior and lack of dynamic handling. Still, it possessed an understated and rather striking design that has aged well over the years.
