I beleive this was from European Car Magazine, they are usually pretty reputable with their outlooks on new vehicles.

It's from the September issue of Automobile. I just picked it up on Thursday.

The whole 4-door coupe thing is a bit controversial...but either way I'll take a CLE450!

This CLE hybrid Coupe does not cut it for me.

I would prefer a 3-door design, similar to the SATURN - that would be innovation!

That's what they were originally planning to do with this car - suicide rear doors on both sides similar to the Saturn. I think that would have been a cool design. The little rear doors look weird to me - they also don't look very functional (maybe a kid could use one, but it looks like an adult would have to be a contortionist).

Cheers, BT
