Wow, that looks great. Interior doesn't look too far fetched so I would guess the production version will be similar.

like the car... not the name.

as much as yes, things change and "a rose by any other name" and all that jazz.... no... coupe?... with not only 4, but technically 5 doors?... come on now... they are just trying to make people mad.

i'm going to start calling the new hellcat challenger a minivan. about as much of a difference between those two as a coupe and a 4 door hatchback....

coupe
ko͞op/
noun
noun: coupé; plural noun: coupés; noun: coupe; plural noun: coupes

    1.
    a car with a fixed roof and two doors.
    2.
    historical
    a four-wheeled enclosed carriage for two passengers and a driver.
