As discussed in another thread. http://www.motortrend.com/features/a...ies/index.html.

Same sausage, different size links.

A 6 is a two door 5 series. Same engine, interior quality, handling, etc.

The gran coupe is nothing more than a 5 series XL.

I am sure there are plenty of lemmings to buy them though.

I guess BMW does not have the balls to bring back an 8 series. But making another variant of a 5 series and charging $20k more will work.

looks more like a m3

gottta say that as much as i like the grand coupe concept, its not somthing that i think i wil be in the market for. i can see a slight premium for a stylish coupe variant of the 5 series in the 6 series,

like has been established, same class size, drive train, suspension, and interior. outside of the exterior, the 6 is no diffrent than the 5

with that being said, while i will say that the grand coupe looks better then the new 5 series, im not willing to pay a premium for a car that is slightly diffrent than the 5 series with the same preformence and less back seat room.

so like i said, like the look but am not paying a premium, just dont understand why this couldnt be the next 5 series, IMO it looks much better the whats commming out next
