Mercedes-Benz is rumoured to be bringing to market . very interesting vehicle. In 2008 at the Paris Motor Show . concept called the Mercedes-Benz Concept Fascination was unveiled. Most believed it to be . mere concept of what an .-Class Coupe could look like for example, something of . preview. It turns out there were deeper plans for it than that.
Should this three-door estate really make it out of the concept phase it would become part of . growing lineup of cars based on the new .-Class. These are the sedan itself, the coupe, the convertible and the five-door estate.
Premium car manufacturers are inventing new segments on what seems to be . yearly basis. Mercedes-Benz itself was first to market . four-door coupe with the CLS. They would therefore plan and hope for similar levels of success with . three-door estate or shooting brake.
If the same engines found in the .-Class are to be used then we’ll see four-cylinder petrols and diesels as well as .6. and .8. being included. An AMG variant? With rumours saying the .-Class Coupe might not offer this powerful option, this model may also end up not receiving AMG treatment.
The Frankfurt Motor Show is expected to showcase the .-Class Estate while the Convertible would soon follow.
