Framed against the flannel and gluten-free backdrop of Portland, Maine, the C300 Coupe fits right in. It's a car aimed at hip up-and-comers-sans-kids, with available all-wheel drive for when the snow starts dumping. It's a looker, too. Four inches longer and two inches wider than its predecessor, the C300 sports a lean and agile appearance from the side, thanks in part to a single shoulder line that stretches from stem to stern. And all that time at the yoga studio has transformed the previous model's angular, droopy-drawered rear end, giving the new car what Mercedes-Benz product planner Heiko Schmidt calls "a great ass."
