Coupes are generally considered the sportier, more glamorous option. But is there something somehow cooler about having equivalent performance in a more everyday looking saloon? So ponders PHer Bucksfizz in our Thread Of The Day. "Money no option and practicality of no consideration, who would take a sports saloon over a two-seat sports car?" is the question. "I've owned both and admire them almost equally as much, but I can't help but learn more towards the four-door saloon even though I don't need more than two seats!"
"I'd have an M5 over a V8 Vantage. They're just my type of car," says sparks_E39. But then comes the immediate reply from Caymanbill. "Saloon cars scream 'driving gloves' and the type of melter who spends all Sunday afternoon 'detailing' his car. Very Alan Partridge TBH."
Curveballs are thrown, including fast estates and 'four-door coupes' like the Mercedes CLS and BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe. But there's something rather compelling about R8VXF's "Ridiculously overpowered saloon for me!"
Can it really be so? Do we all crave fast four-doors over classic sporting coupes? Defend the sports car now! Join the conversation here!
