It's ridiculous that Mercedes tries to pass off the CLS as a coupe.
I think that's the stupidest thing ever, who are they kidding?

I think it looks good. It obviously isnt a coupe and its not the best at hiding that but the lines are very good and it still manages to look more flowing than some sedans. But you're entitled to your opinion.

I agree that it's quite nice for a sedan :)

Its a very nice four door saloon, I think they are pushing it with the claim of the coupe shape, I think they mean the lines of a coupe. Nonetheless, I really like it

it is a four door saloon with reduced head room. Nothing more.

4 door = sedan, no matter how you cut it. It's a gimmick. And a bad one at that.

It does looks great,
I guess they are calling it a coupe because it's sort of a mix between a sports car and a sedan. I do not support them calling it the coupe, but it doesn't bother me much. It's a mix between and E class and Class, sort like in the middle in my opinion. But with a few more lines. :)

This is MErcedes today. Desiging stupid cars like this that look like Japanese cars. How I long for the good ol' days with the 190e and the old SL's... Understated elegance and luxury.

Speaking of elegance this is probably one of the most elegant cars ever made. :D

My sentiments exactly. I always thought Benz was smarter than that.

That's one of my favorite elements about the car - mildly reminiscent of the bathtub-styled cars of the late 40's-early 50's (think Hudson Hornet, '49-'51 Mercury/Ford/Lincoln, Porsche 356, etc.).

they are nice looking cars, but this 4 door coupe business, i thought the definition of a coupe was a two door sedan

Coupe comes from the french word "couper" which means "to cut".
As Mercedes visibly shortened (cut off) some of the roofs pillars, it might be technically considered to be a coupe, but esthetically it is not what I would call one.
