The forthcoming 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe has been spotted at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport in the Netherlands by readers of our Dutch friends over at Autogespot. The barely camouflaged model reveals the new E-Class Coupe's heavily shouldered rear wheel arches as well as the more dramatic styling of the three-part side windows and the sleeker roofline. Though not clearly visible in these photos, the CLK's successor also adopts the Paris Show ConceptFascination's diamond-shaped, quad-headlamp arrangement and the angular, businesslike nose featuring Merc's three-pointed star in the middle.
Overall, the E-Class Coupe's styling appears more seductive than the 2010 E-Class sedan, pictures of which were leaked into the internet a few weeks ago -click here. Merc's rival to the BMW 3-Series and Audi A5 coupes will most likely be offered with the same powertrain options as the saloon version, ranging from a ranging from an entry-level, 1.8-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol right up to a 6.2-litre V8 engine in the range-topping AMG version. Mercedes will also offer an array of diesel engine options on the new E-Class coupe.
It is expected that the new E-Class Coupe will make its official debut along with its sedan sibling at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in March, 2009, with sales following in the second half of the year and in some markets, in early 2010.

A reader over at our fellow Spanish 'compameros' at Motorpasion snapped some of the best photos we've seen up until now of the Mercedes CLK replacement, the new E-Class Coupe. With the exception of the thinly masked headlights and tail lamps, the coupe was virtually free of any disguise. Judging from the board seen in the photos that were shot at a resort in the beautiful island of Mallorca in Spain, it appears that Mercedes hosted an internal even for its employees to show off the new E-Class Sedan and Coupe, as well as the upcoming S-Class facelift.
