Love it.

Still hate the term Four door coupe, but I like that, better than the CLS. Some good angles on it, this car is actually worthy of wearing an "8".

Front looks a bit Maserati to me though... EDIT Got some Charger in it too... Maybe the proportions are different...

I really like the rear. The front is 'ok' I guess...but doesn't do much for me.

Yeah. I would rather drive my non-retractable hardtop convertible around.

I like the looks of it but I'm with Good Ph.D; the phrase "four door coupe" is awful and so is anyone who believes it to be true.

My thoughts exactly.

I prefer the Aston Martin Rapide, but if the Porsche Panamera looks like some of the "previews" I would put it behind the CS concept overall.

GM just didn't call it that.

Nicely styled car powered by a monster motor.

Just my opinion the Giugiaro and the CXF 4 dr coup were influences. Nice car. Anyone catch the American rear 1/4 top line that runs under the rear window and curves down 6 inches above the rear tire? you can see the same line in the Mustang here but it is higher.

Wouldn't it be ok to use that term on the rx-8?
