Just to be sure that nobody would confuse it with the Acura CL, Mercedes is now calling it the S-Class Coupe.

- Lorenzo Yes, they can recover from the Ghosn-led corporate types who cheapened vehicles in the worst ways, including quality control. In the early to mid-1990s Nissan had efficient engines, and reliable drivetrains in well-assembled, fairly durable vehicles. They can do it again, but the Japanese government will have to help Nissan extricate itself from the "Alliance". It's too bad Japan didn't have a George Washington to warn about entangling alliances!
- Slavuta Nissan + profitability = cheap crap
- ToolGuy Why would they change the grille?
- Oberkanone Nissan proved it can skillfully put new frosting on an old cake with Frontier and Z. Yet, Nissan dealers are so broken they are not good at selling the Frontier. Z production is so minimal I've yet to see one. Could Nissan boost sales? Sure. I've heard Nissan plans to regain share at the low end of the market. Kicks, Versa and lower priced trims of their mainstream SUV's. I just don't see dealerships being motivated to support this effort. Nissan is just about as exciting and compelling as a CVT.
- ToolGuy Anyone who knows, is this the (preliminary) work of the Ford Skunk Works?

Proper full-size coupe ! .. nobody produce these things today .. (Cadillac should prepare car of this size [yeah, call it Eldorado..] .. but I've noticed little problem: why this car has a shmancy-fancy-blinky grill that looks like this one from cheap CLA-hipster-mobile .. .. ?!?
As a fan of large coupes, I think the exterior looks great, until you get around back, not a fan of the chrome unibrow over the taillights (though better than the dual brows on the Buick Verano). Interior is more appropriate for the S class sedan, seems like a mismatch in a sleek coupe. As for the BMW 6-series comparisons, I think this is aiming a rung above the 6-series. Like maybe if BMW does a new 8-series.
