Re: Choose Your Coupe-ish Four-Door

On looks alone, the humble VW beats all the other prestigious contenders.

Volkswagen should get their hands on the Audi S4's 3.0 TFSI engine and make an "R" version of the CC; 333 Bhp + four-wheel-drive + DSG + coupé-ish looks = Quite a combination, I reckon.

Re: Choose Your Coupe-ish Four-Door

Estoque: Concept that will NEVER be built.

CLS: The pioneer, I bow down to greatness but the headroom in the rear is too cramped.

Passat CC: Superb design and value for money, no shame in driving that one.

Rapide: A stretched DB9 with tiny rear doors and head room for midgets in the rear. No thanks! Save yourself from compromises and buy a DB9 or Quattroporte.




Panamera:
The most sensible choice. A Four door car created in true German automobile spirit, functional and promises high performance. It sounds awesome, will drive awesome, looks awesome and best of all can comfortably transport four adults unlike the other cars and concepts in this poll. Lastly it will sweep the floor with all other four door cars in the performance department. I prefer cars with substance over anything. Vanity never lasts long.

Re: Choose Your Coupe-ish Four-Door

Re: Choose Your Coupe-ish Four-Door

-I voted CLS, still a stunning car. It impresses me everytime.

-As second, well... The Panamera. I really like it, it's maybe not coupe-ish or really gorgeous, but it's a typical Porsche and I like that.

-Third: the splendid Lambo. Really looks fantastic, this thing.

-Fourth: the Rapide. It's far behind. Unimaginative, already dated. I adore the Astons, the DB9, V8, Vantage are all extraordinary. But this one is messed-up.

-Last: the Passat. I saw it IRL, in various colours with various rims. Never managed to convince me a bit. It just doesn't do anything to me, nothing. I'll take a Scirocco over a CC in a heartbeat, thank you.

Re: Choose Your Coupe-ish Four-Door

Aston Martin Rapide: As funky as the diesel Cayenne, not my type!
Fisker Karma: Generic looks & a complete (doner car) build-up, I'll never pay such money for a kit-car... sort of!
Jaguar Xf: Yes, it's a good looking sedan but, it's not a coupe-ish 4-door car at all mike!
Lamborghini Estoque: Most-weird Lambo ever! They should stop thinking about anything beyond 2-door & 2-seats!
Mercedes-Benz Cls-Class: The real segment leader & a proper coupe-ish sedan & Cls-63 Amg for me please!
Porsche Panamera: Porsche's designers should stop rocking hard-core shit immidiately on week/working days!
Volkswagen CC: Closest thing to Cls in this segment & also a great-looking sedan!

My choice: Mercedes-Benz Cls followed by the Passat-Cc!

Re: Choose Your Coupe-ish Four-Door

I voted for the Volkswagen Passat CC. A very lovely car. I like it more than the CLS to be honest.
