I've seen the 8 recognized as a 4-door sports coupe in numerous magazines.

Mercedes tried to get a concurrent model for the (ugly, but successful) BMW 6 series up and running asap. Seen it in person quite a few times here. The side windows are OK - if you want to use the car as a letter box.

MB is trying to fill out every niche in the market at the moment (they're about to change that though), which won't work imho. They should re-occupy the quality thing instead of having more models than customers ...

That's only a coupe because someone stepped on a sedan and made it lower

I don't really think Mercedes was targetting the 6 series with this one. They are completely different cars to serve different purposes. I don't think we have to wory about mercedes either, they will sell a bunch of these.

I prefer to refer to the 8's layout as "extended cab" as opposed to coupe or saloon.

man, half the time that Mercedes looks slightly ok, the other half of the time it looks terrible! I think for my hard-earned (piles of) cash, I'd get something a little easier on the eyes...

I like the way you think. The 8 is kinda like a motorcycle, it does have seats, suspension, gas powered and many other similarities, good find friend

mercendes is calling it a coupe, but they are also calling it a sedan

The naming convention of Mercendes (as i saw this on a documentry about Mercendes)
C = Coupe
S = Sedan
K = smaller
L = I forgot
