If there is one four door coupe that i like it has to be this one:

Re: CLS voted best design 'Popular Mechanics'

I'm not sure that the RX8 can be called a 4door coupe since the bak doors can't be opened independently.

For the moment there is no plan for an Audi 4 door coupe.

Maybe, but to me those two things behind the front doors that can open still count as doors, so it qualifies as 4 doors.

As for SEAT and their '5-door coupe'.. if they do, then, although it may seem unlikely to us 'old timers', people may come to eventually not associate the word 'coupe' with '2 doors' in any strict fashion, but to refer to a particular look or some other characteristic. That's what happens when words are used loosely, and that's how language changes.

I guess Mercedes first copied the four-door coupé idea, then they copied those wheel arches
