Sunday Poll: Choose your coupe-ish four-door
Click above for a hi-res gallery of tonight's poll entrants
This weekend's Porsche Panamera photos have everyone talking, and it had us thinking it's time for a Sunday Poll. Sportier, coupe-like four-doors are no longer a novelty; everyone's doing (or plans to do) it. So, given the choice, which one would you pick. Our candidates are a mix of cars already here, cars on the way, and one concept that seems like a lock to come to fruition. Are you beguiled or bewildered by Stuttgart's new four-door? Maybe you like Fisker's green-but-beautiful approach. How about the Mercedes CLS, which basically started this trend? VW's now in the game with the CC, and Aston's busy cooking up the production Rapide. Let's not forget Jaguar's wide-eyed kitty, the XF. And we'd be remiss if we left out the Lamborghini Estoque, a concept that has cash cow written all over it for Sant'Agata. So, throw all those pesky restrictions like budget and availability out the window. In your opinion, who's got the best take on the coupe-sedan look so far?

Sorry, but I just cant vote in a Mercedes, Fisker, Volkswagen or Porsche when a Aston Martin is an option!

in agreement.
Aston rules when it comes to design language.
The Lambo looks good from the side but not fond of the front profile.
The Mercedes is hideous
Panamerica not far ahead of the Benz
The Fisker. polarizing yes but like it or not, those rear doors are too small.
the Jaguar doesnt really belong.
the VW, for 35K, is definitely the best value and looks excellent. Saw it at the show this weekend. but standard VW caveat. ( never own a VW, only lease so you never have one out of warranty)

VW CC!!
It looks the best in this segment. I love the 2.0 FSI engine too.

The VW CC has the new 2.0 TSI.

Excuse my ignorance. I'm sure it's nothing but better than the original..
Ligor 11:25PM (11/23/2008)
all these options and you choose the VW CC
that ugly thing should not even be on the list
and it looks even worse in person
i was at the Nissan/Mazda/VW/Audi/Porsche dealer this week and i almost threw up a bit when i saw the CC in person
UGLY

Yes that's right, I chose the VW CC, so? I think the Fisker and CLS look hideous but I'm not going to hate on someone for choosing it. The only reason why I chose it is because I probably will be leasing one soon.

It was fun to see the collection of cars but the last one surprised me - not only that it was included - but that it was the best looking side view of all the cars! Wow - well done VW.

Keep in mind, though, that the picture here is not of a stock-version CC. Check out how it really looks:

You can see how the shadows and lighting make a huge difference in the profile shot, especially at the rear. Just sayin.
(My vote went for the Rapide... And there's a Volks in my driveway.)

A 4 door Lambo, Aston, Porsche is like a hot supermodel with 4 tits. No Thanks, it just ain't right!

Exactly, Jaguar for the win!

I don't know about you, but I surely wouldn't pass up a supermodel with 4 tits.
