Pictures Which four-door coupe has the best looking side profile?

[EKaru]

As you guys know, the cars below are classified as 4-door coupes because of their characteristic sloping rear profile...
Yes, even the Jaguar XJ is classified as a 4-door coupe, unlike its predecessor:

I like the Aston's the best.
Terrible shot of the BMW, BTW.

 

[Tumbo]

Gran Coupe for sure. Then the CLS' then the CC.
I love everything about the A7, except the side and rear profile.

 

[Merc1]

Believe it or not the VW and then the Aston for me. The Porsche looks the worst, ugly humpback whale looking in that pic.

I love the Jaguar XJ now though......

CLS is marred with silly lines and what not.

The BMW looks really good in that shot/color.

You're kidding Marcus? The VW looks like the Hunchback of Notre Dame in this company.

That would be my choice then.

Seriously, fugly beyond belief! (And I like VW!!)

 

[Merc1]

All the VAG Empire haters have emerged! I'm kidding...yes I like the VW in the first post/set of pics given.

^Lol..we don't hate VW and you know that.IMO putting the CC with that company is like putting the TT with SLS roadster and Italia spider.

 

[EKaru]

At first I didn't care for the CLS, but now I think it looks fantastic, especially in person

 

[mini_cooper4]

Never liked the CLS but... it's stunning in that color

 

[Guibo]

I'd put the Panamera behind the CC too. Looks agressive from certain angles and with Porsche detailing you know it's big bucks. But the side profile of the VW seems more elegant IMO, and the curvature of the roof & top window line don't make it look so flat/stretched like the Panamera. Looks like a class up from where it really is.

I can't wrap my mind around the flaws of each to figure out which I like the most. I'd say the CLS, as it has the best architecture I think, but those side lines ruin the whole package. The 6 GC I'm not convinced about yet. The XJ's alright, but I don't see why it gets the ridiculous and nonsensical title of "4 Door Coupe", the Panamera might be my favorite out of all these, but it is certainly not without its own heavy flaws, and the A7 just has a nasty rear section, and a front section that doesn't exactly inspire me either. The Rapide is by far the most exotic and IMO the ONLY one that can even almost call itself a "true Coupe", as the rest are simply obviously Sedans with low rooflines (poor headroom, sleeker), but something about it doesn't entice me so much, at least compared to Aston's gorgeous actual Coupes.

I'd pick first gen CLS maybe.

1.Aston
2.CLS
3.GC

I'm going to be in a minority here, but A7 looks the best for me. I like the shape of CLS but all those lines on sides...duh... Rapide looks like a stretched Vantege to me, it just doesnt do anything special to me, the GC is nice but I'm yet to see it in person, so I will hold my judgement until I do. I prefer the old gen CC than a new one BY FAR. And the Panamera... It isnt half as bad as many people claim it to be here, but its far from sexiness either.

Out of these cars the 6 series gran coupe is the one I have yet to see in real life, but even if I have, I don't think it can beat the Aston. So right now Aston first, CLS second and Jag third. The Audis just doesn't do it for me at all.
