Rumours of a BMW 3 Series GT rival from Mercedes-Benz have long been documented, and the word is, it’ll be called the C-Class SportCoupe when it arrives in 2016. Malaysian automotive manipulator Theophilus Chin has rendered his take on what it’ll look like, and my, can someone say awkward?
The render clearly takes comes cues from the recently unveiled GLE Coupe (ML Coupe to those not yet acquainted with Merc’s new badging system), with the fastback-style profile matching that of the F34 3GT. As we’ve highlighted in our video review of the W205 C-Class sedan, it could certainly do with more rear headroom.
Three can play at this game, as Audi is also known to be working on its own version – to be called the A4 Vario. A 2016 launch date has been suggested, so hipsters, better buy that 3GT soon! You know, before it was cool…

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Ugly it is and somehow the 3GT looks better now lol but I do like the extra space they offer along with the bigger boot and slightly higher ride height.
Proton better than this junk. I have no idea why idiots buy Mercedes or BMW when you can get a good Proton for quarter the price and it is a much better car than the junk Mercedes.
All those idiots in PT complaining about high car prices and high fuel prices, well, if you stop complaining and work harder, you will be able to afford better cars like this.
I am placing an order for this baby because I can afford one. You should stop being lazy and work harder like me!
Maybe you are trying to be sarcastic and to troll. But really not funny or witty at all.
someone might have dropped u when u were a child…kesian
Youngsters will say: sporty vehicles – panoramic roofs + 8.5 seconds = zzz…
This is a > 350k C-segment car, there will be some non-fussy expectations.
in fact I kinda like it… if in AMG trim should look even better!
UGLY, definitely same class as BMW GT’s!
prefer shooting brakes/touring over GT’s!
Wish paultan make a poll for bloggers to choose GT’s or Wagon.
Asians and europeans have very different tastes…
We pride in our sedans…
They longed for their practical hatchbacks and estates…
Proving yet again that BMW knows what they are doing after all. First the controversial X6 and X1, then this 3GT. Wondering if the other will come up with something to fight against 5GT, i3 and i8…..
Aiyoh, another sui kwan euro
