BTW - on registration papers - what do the "authorities" consider the CLS to be - I bet they don't fall for the 4-door coupé thing - hehehe.
Porsche has already called it a "sports coupe", check the press release.

That poll is wierd man , it's like you are forcing us to pick sedan . So a coupe must be like a 911 ? That doesnt mean it cant be a coupe , what I want to say is that it is a luxury sports coupe , why dont you post coupe like a 6series BMW for example , or Bently GT coupe if the case is CLS55 . Pushing it against a 911 to be a coupe is just crazy for god's sake !

Yes I'm forcing you to pick and that's how reality is, it's either a coupe or a sedan. 911, Bentley GT or 6er they are all coupes and therefor it doesn't matter which ones we are comparing it too.

Eagle Eye Cherry's Lyrics:

I know...
(I know, I know, I know)
...that we have been here once before...


Hoo boy. Poor options on the poll, forcing an outcome through semantics rather than freedom of choice.

Option 3 should read It's a coupé - but quite unlike a 911

In my books, again - for pete's sake, this is so repetitive - it's a coupé. The 2 extra doors are arbitrary when viewed against all the other attributes that make up a coupé.

The high beltline, shallow DLO, cab-backwardness, sloping rear roofline and low profile all contribute to making this a 4 door coupé in exactly the same way that an RX-8 is one.

If the original definition stemming from the description of a small horse-drawn buggy still applies then where's the farkin' horse? Oh wait... here it is:



Someone beat the dickens out of it and this is the 21st century.
