that thing is mighty sexy

okay after looking...it says its a coupe, and technically it lookslike it is a coupe...coupe being defined by interior room. I.E. the E30 BMW 3 series is considered a 2 door sedan or 4 door sedan due to interior rear room...soit may be a coupe or it maybe a sedan...i have no idea...but it looks like a 4 door coupe. (30 or less cubic feet in the rear)

WOW, I like the site! It was built well. Not so positive about the CSL to me it looks like a copy of the 2003 E-class, but thats in my opinion...
