No, it's really not.

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.

“Sedan with suboptimal rear seat headroom”

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

But no, by definition, not a coupe.

Am I the only one who thinks this thing looks phenomenal?

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

I’m glad the rest of your family looks incredible.

“5 Passenger”

Maybe if the 5th has no legs.

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.

I do. Just not convinced the build quality will be there.

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

5 seatbelts, more accurately.

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:

Droll!!!!!!! A two door sedan!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com > RamblinRover Luxury-Yacht 01/27/2017 at 17:17

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

Oh yeah agree with you on that

Four-door fastback

Tripper > davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com 01/27/2017 at 17:20

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? =)

Tripper > davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com 01/27/2017 at 18:41

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

Haha! Okay, just making sure.

Brian McKay > davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com 01/28/2017 at 02:55

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