Square is the new round, at least as headlights go with the 2010 coupe versions of the E-Class. And the front end treatment — reflecting the stylistic Cubist-think of last year's Fascination show car — just scratches the surface of this handsome coupe that replaces the CLK in Mercedes' model lineup. There is a rakish bluntness to the nose that's consistent with the C-Class's new look, sharp creases that displace the CLK's more rounded forms, and rear fender shapes reminiscent of the 1955 S 220 "Ponton" Mercedes that are also seen in the 2010 E-Class sedan, proving once again that virtually anything will come back into style if you wait long enough. The look is wider, lower and longer.
