New?
New front bumper, new grill (hope, this is the correct word), new backlights for the Sportcoupé (the sedan and estate have the same optic like before, but now they are LED-untits).
I love especially the Sportcoupé even more than before, but I hope it gets a new steering-wheel.

Oh well, then it must be new of course.
I don't like the Sport Coupe too much because the rear looks weird but my wife likes it.
I guess the Mercedes Sport Coupe is the VW Golf of the wealthier working women, my sales man states that 90% of these cars go to women but of course I don't know if this is true.
Maybe the Sport Coupe shows the same phenomenon as the A-class: no matter how it looks and no matter how the quality is, it is important it has a huge Mercedes star on it.
Americans are lucky that there is no A-class in the US, there aren't much cars on this world I hate more (incl. the Smart, the VW Beetle and the Ford Ka).

Re: sportcoupè
Practical in town though. If I needed a car only for Paris, which I wouldn't care about being scratched etc etc etc then a Smart would definitly be considered. Not pretty, not fun, but handy to park. You do look a little bit like a d...ck in it though. But hey, I'd know I have a nice car for the week ends!
This is without considering the fact that it is overpriced of course!

Re: sportcoupè
Of course, you would look like a machoman if you park the smart next to this :
Those damn 50cc microcars!
how is that for a parody and insult of real cars and you now who drive those things... people who can't pass the drivers licence test since these don't require a drivers licence because they are 50cc, what a joke. Anyway if you come across one, try to stay clear of it
BTW have you guys seen that Smart comertial were the police are chasing a Smart? the Smart's engine is dubbed with a V8 engine sound!!! instead of its blender sounding 3cil.

Re: sportcoupè
This becomes very handy when you don't have a license or when you lose it!
French license is granted 12 points. Guess what, since last week end, I only have two!!!!!!
Better behave myself now or I'll end up in one of those!
BTW, FYI, I had 6 pts left (2 speeding offences) and I just lost 4 point last saturday night because according to the cops I burned a red light, it was more dark orange to me, but hey, that's life.
Five cops litterally jumped on me!!! When they saw the driver of that nice 996 was in his twenties, they thought, let's massacre him!
And they certainly did, 4 points and more than 300 Euros fines for the red light and not enough threads on my rear tyres! 
If you drive in France, take it very easy! Not good being seen in a sport car these days.
