DaimlerChrysler have announced that production of the Mercedes C class coupe is being moved to Juiz de Forza, in Brazil.
The plant already builds the saloon version of the C Class and had previously built the A Class model up until last year.
Initial plans to manufacture the Smart ForMore compact offroader have been dropped in favour of the C Class coupe.
While Mercedes are presently reporting impressive sales figures, the C Class Sports coupe has seen a 29% drop in units sold.
Assembly begins early next year.
