BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe - a misnomer

I’ve been working too much to post anything, but misnomers seem to be appearing too frequently these days… American politics seem to encourage such misnomers.  But the Germans don’t have such a propensity for misnomers, or so I thought…

 

See the below photo of the new BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe, and consider the following definitions:

1.       Coupe - a car with two doors and front seats and a luggage compartment.

2.       Sedan - A closed automobile having two or four doors and a front and rear seat.

 

What I see here misses the mark – you can’t trick us between 1 and 2.  BMW – I thought you’d be above this… your customers are not fools.
