Talking What would MB call a 2-door CLS since coupe is taken

With all this discussion about the definition of the word "coupe", what do you think MB should call the 2-door version. 2-door coupe?

Isn't there a 2 door version with Saturnesque "suicide" doors on the drawing board ? Sort of a CLKS ?

I doubt they would make a coupe version of the CLS since it would clash with the CLK.
Speaking of that, this forum is in the 'coupe' section and the CLS is a 4-door sedan. I cant believe the administrator here would make that mistake.

I'm not so sure that the administrators made a mistake with their "Coupe" classification of the CLS, since MBUSA has also labeled it as a coupe.

Sedan? j/k

I like Natalie's photo. There is also a pic I posted of the possible "Suicide" doored CLE?CLS? variant. If built, it is supposed to share the new CLK roof to save $.

CLS 2 Door
