This is at the office this week: BMW 640i Gran Coupe in the BMW Individual color "Frozen Bronze." It's quite pretty in person.

Rover Bronze Green isn't quite as bronzey, but I bring it up because my cousin and I ordered 5 qts yesterday for his car. Should look like this.

I'm coming to a realization
If BMW can call this a coupe, then there's no reason Dodge can't call the Charger a coupe
Let's just continue to shit on naming conventions everywhere

Oh man, don't tell me VW are benchmarking that to build one of their own.
Pretty color though.

A coupe doesn't have to have two doors. It's defining feature is a lowered roofline, from the french word coupe "cut".
See, this Rover P5b Coupe is a true coupe.
It has a lower roffline than the sedan.
Whereas other cars, people commonly refer to as coupes are mere two-door sedans. E30 2-door, or MKII Jetta for example.

Then don't complain about BMW, kind Sir!

In a way, I'm still right. The Charger has the lowered roofline "coupe" profile that, if they wanted to, could give them the "right" to "call" it a "coupe"

I'm not debating the Carger. I just have a problem with informed people calling shenanigans when BMW names a car correctly.

I'm just bitching for the sake of bitching
Not that I like the terminology, because I really don't
But I can't deny that they, in the strictest sense, are using it properly

BTW, as this was posted by Jagvar. His car is the biggest naming scandal as a Phaeton should be a convertible.

In French, the word "travestie" literally means "transvestite". Do with that what you will.
