Coupes have always been a desirable body form for cars due to the general sporty look which almost all coupes have written all over their body panels as well as sex appeal for some exotic European two door wonders. Being sleeker than sedans and more streamlined than even the prettiest hatchbacks, this form of two door vehicles is chosen by basically all automotive companies with the objective to build something which is not only aerodynamically fast but also very appealing to the masses. However, there have been some variations in the coupe design language in recent years and it is now not unusual to see four door coupes hogging the spotlight from the traditional ones.
While the Maserati Quattroporte, a car with a name literally meaning four door coming into mind for most to be one of the most established four door vehicles in terms of both the looks and speed department, it was always more of a sedan than anything else. Hence, most would agree that Mercedes Benz built the first true four door coupe when they rolled out the CLS-Class back in 2004. Having the body of what many would easily believe to be a CL or SL Class at first sight, the extra two doors of this car, piled with the subtle design cues from executive sedans like the E-Class, the look of the CLS is truly a dynamic, sporty and yet luxurious one.
