Came across this on the "What Car?" website, just bringing your attention to it. Sorry if it's a repost.

Judging by the artist impression, it seems like a hot one from BMW

I don't get these four door coupes. I LOVE the cls but only because it is so bad ass looking. It seems to compete directly with the S and E class because it is a big sedan.

wouldn't a BMW 4-door coupe still compete with a 5 series? Unless it was truely like a 6 with four doors but no room in the back.

The nose looks like it was photochopped from an E92.

instead of having a billion different models on sale at the same time MB should just work on making a few cars really really well.

that being said the new Sclass has raised the bar for lux sedans.

Looks good, we'll have to wait and see.

WTF is a 4-door coupe?

EDIT - never mind. Wikipedia is my friend.

could be some sort of hybryd model

I read in 'CAR' that BMW said they won't build a CLS type car because they see no market in it. A spokesman said that after research they found that a goodly amount of people who bought a CLS would have bought a Mercedes anyway.

This applies to my friend's dad who bought a CLS to replace his S-Class, at least
