I think it looks awsome, the suicide doors is yet to been seen so I will leave my oppion open on that one. Bmw need to offer more than the 8 models series if they want to compete.IMO
BMW has sold more cars than Mercedes in 2005 in germany

Imagine you paid 80k for a CLS and this CLE comes rolling by for 1/4 the price. Mercedes is garbage.

I'm still pretty averse to calling these kinds of cars "coupes" though.
Yeah... I'm with you. Calling it a four door coupe is a little bit of an insult to the buyer. What's next... will they call the ML a SUV when it's really just a mini-van without the sliding door?

But it seems SAE has defined the coupe and it can have more than two doors. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupe

Who would have thought?
