I don’t like it. It’s looks very generic, like something Buick could design. Kinda looks like a streamlined Buick with a little Aston Martin DNA in the ass. ---

Actually, coupe and sedan have definitions. > In reality, a coupe is strictly defined by its interior volume or space. Distinctions between a coupe and a sedan has little to do with doors and are made clear by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), which standardizes definitions of the different types of cars on the market. Measurements of a coupe and a sedan are as follows: > Coupe equals less than 33 cubic feet (.934 cubic m). > Sedan is equal to or greater than 33 cubic feet. Has nothing to do with exterior shape or design. Purely based on the interior volume. Sexy car. ---
