BMW Steps up to the 4 Door Coupé, and God Damn.

Mmmmmm

Quick, can you name the current crop of luxury/performance sleek, swept-back, “4 door coupés,” as the industry likes to call them?  They’ve been on the market for several years now:

  • Mercedes CLS (the first, debuting around 2004)
  • Aston Martin Rapide (the one to get on a truly unlimited budget)
  • Porsche Panamera (ugly and atrocious, and blasphemy to the Porsche name, but then they have the Cayenne and Cayman to deal with so Porsche really is in over its head…)
  • Audi Q7 (lovely and recently winning all sorts of accolades)
  • VW Passat CC (Yes, even Volkswagen has got in on it, even if they don’t really run with the players mentioned above)

What’s conspicuously missing? The Bavarians!  It’s been along time in the making, but it’s finally here, the 2013 BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe, and boy do they have a knockout.
