Coupe Anyone

Ok, Am I the only one that wants for a coupe, preferably a hard top (no B pillar like the new Mercedes SL600), from Acura. Thinking about jumping ship, Honda Accord coupe, BMW 3 ??? Yes, I know the 4dr is convenient etc….just like a coupe, door longer (easier in/out), like the looks etc…

I too rather be in a coupe, my next car will be a coupe.

Acura will miss that sale.

Also i dont know why people say 4 doors are convenient, i tried to put two babyseats for my nephews in my A4 and it was a very tight fit. Def not the car if you need a big backseat. Might as well be a coupe.

My list:

BMW 335
G3Xc
Mustang

If they make 'em:
Toyota Supra
BMW M2
edit: Acura coupe

I've only got 52K miles on my CLS 6spd, so I'm good for a couple of years...

My next car will definitely be a RWD coupe, probably a G35-7c, or a used '04 645 is I'm lucky

I could care less and its just a matter of taste. Personally I like the extra 2 doors on a car, hence my 3 TL purchases.

Longer doors don't necessarily mean easier ingress/egress... sometimes it's actually more difficult.

My first car was a coupe, but I don't think I'll ever get another coupe as a daily driver.

Longer door help me as I am on the tall side and with the seat back on most four doors I have to work around the B pillar....coupe is easier for me as the B pillar is a little further back...

Well, since I'll never have kids or regular guests in the rear seat, I'd prefer a nice coupe but there's none that do it for me in my price range (50-60K). Instead, I'll buy a used A8 or E5004matic and let someone else take the depreciation hit.

coupes look great, but there are some really hot sedans on the road right now. If you have no kids, a coupe is cool, but with kids, it would be a pain getting them in and out. You ever try removing a baby seat out the back of a coupe? It's hell. 335 sedan(when it comes out) will be a hot ass car.
