FOUND: Mercedes design boss says focus this decade is 60 percent on suvs - What They Never Told You

In early February, a worrying report claimed Mercedes is preparing to pull the plug on several cars. The C-Class Estate will allegedly not live to see another generation while the next-gen E-Class Estate will be the last of its kind. In addition, the sleek CLS sedan is apparently going away, and so will the confusingly named AMG GT 4-Door Coupe. In addition, we've known for a while the three-pointed star will cut some of its compact cars.

Rumor has it the C-Class Coupe and Convertible together with the E-Class Coupe and Convertible will be axed. In their place, Mercedes is believed to launch a CLE Coupe and CLE Convertible, therefore halving the number of two-door models. This would come after the cancellation of the S-Class Coupe and S-Class Convertible as well as the SLC.
