@ Ronnie,
His CLS-owing acquaintance: “it's got pretty much the same mechanicals as the S Class but in a much more attractive car."
I’m sure a lot of those “4-door coupes” get sold for that reason, and DB is laughing all the way to the bank for every CLS that rolls off of the showroom floor. The CLS is not much more than an E-Class in a slinky cocktail dress (not much S-Class in it). DB sells it for near S-Class prices and pockets the extra Euros.
BMW (with the X6) and VW (with the Passat “coupe”) are trying a similar tack, but I expect VW to be the more successful of the two, as BMW doesn’t appear to have had a look the X6 with the house light up before giving it the go-ahead.
