CLS, coupe or sedan? - Page 10

Personally, I think it's a new type of coupe. The doors in the back are too small to be a sedan. The roofline is similar to a coupe, and getting in and out is different than getting in and out of a sedan. Takes getting used to

It's hardly a new type of coupe. The fact of the matter is, coupe = two doors. The CLS does not have two doors, hence it's a sedan. Just with coupe-ish looks.

It's nothing new having a coupe-ish looking sedan, but what is new is MB playing with stupid names to generate interest in the car. Same dealio with the R-Class. It's not a "Grand Sports Tourer" by any means. It's an MPV.

Damn you MB and your marketing team!

It's all in the name: CLS = Coupe-Like-Sedan.

Hehe... well, that explains it (for me anyway).

It's not pointless - we're just discussing our opinions of the car. If that's pointless, I don't know what is.

The CLS is a sedan, how could it be a coupe with 4 doors?

It's just a marketing thing!

So in the end, what does this poll conclude about GCZer's view on the CLS?

Seems like a pretty conclusive result, 78% think it's a sedan.
