Sweden has a lot of immigrants, so if you go there expecting everyone to be blonde you might be in for a surprise.

Good. You wouldn't believe how many people actually take the stereotypes for real.

Try Holland for immigrants Mike.

In Rotterdam, 60% is not Dutch and not from western europe.

Re: CLS, coupe or sedan?

I said it before and I'll saiy it again (hopefully for the last freaking time)

The word Coupé is from the french word to CUT... as in cut off 2 doors from a sedan! Thus if still have 4 doors, you didn't cut anything now did you!?!

So unless the CLS is a 4-door version of some 6-door (or more) sedan... it's a freaking sedan people!

It's a shabby marketing ploy that's all... and I hate shabby marketing ploys
I mean $#!t with a pink bow on it is still $#!t.

Re: CLS, coupe or sedan?

i've always seen the CLS as a sedan, it has veyr little over a regular sedan to be called a coupe, it mgiht be sporty, sleek, sexy, true, but it still goes on by every definition of sedan we have

but since the 4 door coupe gimmick is now very much upon us i have come to terms with myself after much thought that i would qualify as a 4 door coupe any car that you can photoshopt the rear door lines, hinges, and handle, and keep only the window line, yet it wouldn't look bad, or odd

the CLS fails horribly this test, i tried it on PS sometime ago, the only acr til now to succeeed in this test is the AM rapide, whicg looks justa s good with the rear door lines in or out

if someoe has time edit a profile view of a CLS and a view of rapide and you''' see what i mean
