Now that it seems every serious luxury manufacturer is playing with four door "coupes" -- I still don't agree with the term coupes on four-door sedans, but whatever -- everyone seems to have their own take.
For example, when I see the Mercedes-Benz CLS, it is a seemingly elegant and classy design with plenty of fluid lines front to back. The Porsche Panamera certainly isn't the prettiest but it definitely has the most presence with its bulbous thing going on. Audi's the latest to join the pack with its A7 and to be quite honest, it has the best mix of utility and sophistication of them all.

To me, the overall shape is very Volkswagen Passat CC, which is only a step away from the Hyundai Sonata. Sure it boasts front and back ends of a 6-Series but I don't think it is as slinky and unique-looking enough to play in the category.
Am I RIGHT or WRONG on this one?
You tell me, Spies!
