It very much annoys me that Mercedes-Benz continues to call this thing a coupe, despite it obviously having four doors. I'm not a big believer in a car identifying as something it isn't, and a four door car should just let itself be a damn sedan.

That said, this 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 is fast enough to make me not care. 0-60 in the low 3 second range, 11.8 for the quarter miles, and a top speed of 186 - all in what could handily be used as a big, heavy family sedan. We have definitely just lived through the gilded era of the modern muscle car.
