Question Are Coupes on the Way Out in the Auto Industry ?

Some auto companies don't think so
What do you think of the Mercedes E350 ?






I like it

That's an awesome Benz, but yes, I believe coupes are looked past since they don't sell in high volumes. It's sad because that's what I like.

Same here, never owned a 4 door car. I would only own one if they came back with the hardtop sedan (no post) or suicide doors.

you cant find me in a four door unless i do some thing stupid ;P but i dont like some of the body lines of four doors that are out there. there are alot of two doors out there that have beater body lines than 4 doors. prime example our monte carlos second and third is ford mustang and the comaro. fourth and fifth is the chevy cobalt and the ford focus. and the cadilac devill two door that thing is freakin sexy looking even though it is 50k at least to get one. there are alot more cars out there that are sexy looking being two dooors that have a four door option. i always thought that the coup is sexier than any four door exeptionally our monte's

4 door Monte. Isn't that a Lumina?

We have 4 vehicles right now. 2 have back seats, and 2 don't. None have back doors. 2 coupes, a roadster, and a regular cab sportside pickup.

I've owned both 2 and 4 doors. I'm actually looking for a beater 4 door or a wagon right now. something that a big guy can get in the back seat no problem. Maybe a Roadmaster.

As far as the M.B E350 above, it looks like a copy of a Toyota Solara to me!!!

I was thinking the 2006 and up Impalas are 4 door Montes

I wouldn't say that coupes are on their way out. Maybe only in north america. But not completely. Look at the new coupes we got for example. The Challenger, the new Camaro, the Mustang. All popular cars.

In north america, coupes may only be available for muscle/sports cars.

I love that Mercedes. But it's a little pricey for me. Maybe if I win the lottery. I can use it as my winter car when I store my Monte. :p
