This car would have been it, if it had the E interior. Such a big miss. I saw a truckload of them being delivered, I’ll have to go take a look. How you get it look FWD is beyond me. That pic is suspect to me. Looks distorted.

How many FWD 2+2 coupes are there even?
Well, I think the FWD Audi A5 is still available in some markets but the glory days of the FWD 2+2 coupe are long gone. 406 Coupe, Laguna Coupe, Prelude, MX-6 - all bygones.
 
If anyone thinks the CLE looks FWD, then they don't really know what FWD looks like.

Let's be honest, what FWD actually looks like is very rarely relevant to the context in which the acronym's used when it comes to criticism of new cars.

... though I'd add the Mazda GE based Ford Probe, T200 Celica (and T230 I suppose), Rover's 200 & 800 Coupes and the latter's Japanese cousins, the gen 1 & 2 Honda Legend Coupes. You also can't forget about Bangle's Fiat Coupe (as much as I thought it look revolting), which always seems to be fondly remembered.

I must have forgotten to upload photos of the CLE coupe which I also saw during my trip to HK.

Visually it is underwhelming. The CLA front end design is now 4 years old. Does not look fresh or premium on a CL"E"

Based on the quick observation, It look bigger than the C coupe, and more athletic than the E coupe.

Having said so, I have no doubt it will sell, if it is priced correctly.

I'd rather an E63 Black Series personally. The last V8 hurrah, to compete against the M5 CS
