I think it looks great. I don't see how anybody can think these MB Coupes are ugly...

If I didn't have these damn kids I'd seriously consider getting one, and I've never been a coupe person.

Well, the kids are riding in Mom's Sedona...not in a coupe. Your finances and family life, of course, are your business, but I certainly don't see anything wrong with getting a nice-looking coupe for ones' self, provided, of course, that your wife can live with it. But she's probably in the minivan most of the time (as you all would be for family travel).

If it were me, though, I'd also think twce before getting rid of an LS460....which IMO is one of the best luxury cars on the planet. Only way I'd probably trade one is a RWD version for the AWD version.

If I really wanted a coupe I could get one I agree. Primarily they do almost always ride in the Sedona, but we really do need to also have them be able to ride in my car, and I do drive people around from time to time for work.

No I really do need a sedan.

Not a fan of the looks at all. The only sedan-based car, to me that was ever able to pull off the coupe look to me was the 3-series. Everything else just looks weird. When Lexus did the IS coupe on the 2gen model, it looked weird. This looks weird (E-class coupes always did), Honda Accord coupe looks weird, etc. It just looks like an afterthought.

The Sclass coupe is amazing, probably one of the best designs for a Large luxury coupe - way better than last generation CL.

The C class coupe is hideous even worse in person. Even the AMG kit cant help it.

Eclass coupe is OK, not ugly but not great just ok. Which for a coupe is not good.
They dont really sell that many anyway.

Original Infiniti G35 coupe looks real good so does current A5.
