A couple days back, we posted a distorted off-screen photo of what was very obviously a new two-door Mercedes-Benz.

Not straying from the realm of the known facts, we eventually found out that it was the new S-Class Coupe displayed at the annual Daimler meeting held in Stuttgart last week, and now, the first official shot of the car has broken cover.

First impressions are that Mercedes has really toned down the looks of the concept (see second picture below), not to scare off its loyal pool of repeat buyers.

So, what do you think of this new Merc two-door flagship, a car that’s ten percent nicer simply because they actually chose to call it after the French word for cropping and not some lame made up term?

I think it’s sleek but a tad dull, though maybe that improves once we get a look at its rump which in the motor show car looked quite sexy.
