What's the biggest thing you've managed to fit in the boot of a four-door coupé?
Manufacturers, especially those from Der Vaterland, have become very adept at creating new markets to spin more profit. This has led to a swathe of new variants that, the day before they were launched, we had no idea we needed. The problem, though, is we're often still scratching our heads trying to understand what the benefit is the day after, and the days after that. Coupé SUVs are the greatest example of this. For me, they are the most ridiculous machines.
As anyone who knows anything about anything will tell you, SUVs are bigger and heavier than the hatchbacks and estates we used to buy. And if you've also studied GCSE physics, you'll know this means expending more energy to move them. So in a world where the zeitgeist is to consume less, we're swapping to higher consumption, more polluting cars. Marvellous.
Four-door coupés are another questionable genre. What's the point of buying a marginally more practical, four-door version of an impractical two-door car, which is itself a spin-off of a far more practical alternative? Still with me at the back? If not, then in short: why buy a BMW M440i Gran Coupé when, if you need the practicality to transport an armchair, you can buy an M340i Touring instead. There, simple.
