Here’s betting Mercedes C-Class will appeal more to the fairer sex

The moment I set eyes on the new Mercedes C-Class Coupe, a woman came to mind, writes Declan Colley

Not just any woman, but one of a certain age and demeanour, of a certain social standing and probably an empty-nester too.

This woman came into my mind’s eye as I looked at the virgin-white colour scheme of the C-Class Coupe. I saw her carelessly sling her Christian Louboutin black calfskin Eloise handbag into the passenger seat as she emerged from that new suburban nail bar and wafted her Dolce & Gabbana clad ass behind the wheel. She was on her way to the golf club.
