Oh, oh. Look at the front lights. They look weird. Straighten those out. Simplify the look.

Hmm 4 dour coupe ay? Looks like 2 doors to me.

Since we are all making weird names lets just call Lamborghini Murcielago a 5 door hatch back.

Car looks pretty good, like a 6-Series from the front. Wouldn’t this compete with their 3-Series coupe? or is this their next 3-Series coupe?

None the less, looks good.

Id still buy the CLS, this is a very plain concept of a BMW, not exciting

Looks de-banglized. For the better, a less fragmented design.

i said this earlier on another topic, but japan, stop. anyway. the car just isnt competition for the merc cosmetically, at least the rendering isnt. too squinty and constipated look to it.

#33, you’re not supposed to just drop it. These are comments on a thread. And also, it’s just a rendering. Although I have no idea what the final product will look like (if there is one), but i doubt it will be like this.

Drop this. It’s not THAT good-looking, even the front, and it says nothihg about the engine… My favourites are the Aston Rapide if it comes out (will eat THIS and the CLS alike) and the Audi 5-class (will eat BMW 6-class); true, no proper competition for CLS by Audi ‘cos the A7 concept is just plain fugly. Porsche should scrap the Panamera or whatever they want to call it – and the Cayenne too. Anything other than a 2-dr coupe by Porsche is just not right. JAPAN: you don’t need to call me an “asswipe dimwit”, i’ll do that for you; Cadillac was a good car like 50 years ago. Since the day they scrapped the 1959 model they just plain suck. True, there is excuse for some later models, e.g. the 1976 Brougham but that’s it. Now it’s just for “asswipe dimwits” like various sizes and shapes of rappers and our beloved George W. “the Ape” Bush

I think its just become a marketing tool. I will say a 4dr car is a Sedan and a 2dr is a Coupe. I also think a “coupe” sounds sportier. they even call them “4dr coupes” the company knows a coupe traditionaly has 2drs but to make the car unique instead of calling it a “sedan with a coupe like roofline” they say “4dr coupe”. I mean really its a made up segment and you can argue all you want, but its really just a sedan that the marketing ppl are trying to shine up a little bit.

I see you read the wikipedia writeup too bob, but I said it before and I’ll say it for the rest of time, if ya got 4 doors…ya got a sedan.

“^^^that Asswipe dimwit is an imposter I wouldn’t be seen dead in a GM vehicle!!!!!”

I want to retract that last comment…i did infact have a date last night and he drove a 1989 S10 Blazer. Let me just say the headroom in the back seat is amazing! i was able to get on all fours with no prob and “Big Jim” as he likes to be called during sex had no problem kneeling behind. Way to go GM!

A coupé is distinguished from a sedan primarily by interior volume; SAE standard J1100 defines a coupé as a fixed-roof automobile with less than 33 ft³ (0.93 m³, 934.6 L) of rear interior volume. A car with a greater interior volume is technically a two-door sedan, not a coupé, even if it has only two doors. Some car manufacturers may nonetheless choose to use the word coupé to describe such a model, e.g., the Cadillac Coupe de Ville.

A coupé (from the French for cut) or coupe is a car body style with a close-coupled interior offering either two seats or 2+2 seating (space for two passengers up front and for two occasional passengers in the rear). Through the 1950s convertible models were sometimes called convertible coupés, but since the 1960s the term coupé has generally been applied exclusively to fixed-roof models. Coupés generally, but not necessarily, have two doors, although automobile makers have offered four-door coupés and three- and five-door hatchback coupés, as well.

Smart idea have a 6 series and 8 series competing directly against each other. Lets call it friendly fire retarded pricks. Makes the 6 series useless.

No, i cant simply make me point and move on. I need to insult everyones ignorance becasue my testicles are really small and i need to make myself feel better. I tired buying a H2 Hummer but it wasnt enough. I tried put 38in tires and a 6in lift on the Hummer, STILL not enough. so i have gotten to the point where the only thing that makes me feel better is to pretend i know everything there is to know about cars and argue with ppl about it over the internet.

This thing is going to be worthless pile of **** once you see the latest lineup at your local GM dealer. I’d suggest for your own good that you go down to your nearest GM dealer and buy one of our fantastic offerings.

RUN, don’t walk to your nearest General Motors center if you know what’s good for ya

Japan, I do not doubt the origin of the word and its literal translation, however it’s adoptation in the automobile industry is synonymous with a 2-door vehicle., and has been generally accepted.
I wonder why you keep using “asswipe dimwits”, can’t you simply make your point and move on.
