It has “five doors.”

It is not a coupe.

Also looks like a photoshop’ed Maserati Quattroporte

Not even a little bit. Looks like it’s straight out of “Grand Theft Auto” in a bad way.

I saw it at the debut, it looks pretty good IMO.

But no, by definition, not a coupe.

I think it looks incredible, and so does the rest of my family.

No. I like it very much, but it’s not a coupe.

I think most Kias look really good. I saw one next to an Audi the other day though...and I had to just stand there and stare at them side by side. It was hard to tell them apart.

The 3/4 view is quite good. I was taking issue with calling it a coupe.

The coupe part was really what I was taking issue with. Was BMW the first offender on this front?

Yeah, this rear 3/4 view is not bad.

Well that too haha. The CLS was the first 4-door “coupe” that I remember seeing

I feel like there ought to be a word for a hatch that effectively just has a trunk + rear window lift. I’m also unsure exactly when a trunk became a necessary part of the sedan descriptor - it totally is, but considering that a sedan used to mean:

Right - did they market it that way? I forgot.

Kinja'd!!! "davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com" (davesaddiction)
01/27/2017 at 17:17, STARS: 0

Yup - a sedan can be a coupe (2 door), but a coupe can’t be a sedan (4 door).

Four-door fastback

01/27/2017 at 17:20, STARS: 1

I think so, be cause I remember having a chip on my shoulder about the car because someone called it a 4 door coupe. Google seems to agree. The CLS is a good looking car, but if you’re forcing me into a sedan McCouperson, it will be an A7

The 6 GC is handsome as well

RS7 FTFY

Or the redesigned Panamera GTS

Four-door fastback is an acceptable term.

It is a handsome non-coupe

I wonder how many of these they actually made with the manual.

Yea RS7 for sure if I had that kind of cheese.

I’m 911 or no Porsche guy, but the Panamera is a great car

No GT4? =)

01/27/2017 at 18:41, STARS: 2

Obviously yes GT4! However at the price they’re going for I’d still rather a well sorted 997.2 / 991

01/28/2017 at 02:55, STARS: 2

Correct. Although Motor Trend called it a “five door ... coupe,” a rear hatch is not a door.
