The 6 has something of the Maserati Quattroporte about it. Certainly the best looking 6 yet and BMW buyers will be glad to have an attractive alternative to the 5 Series GT at last. Will be interesting to see how pratical it is if at all and the price and equipment levels. It is attractive but then so of course is the A7
I would chose the 6 series Gran Coupe over the " one sausage cut to different lengths " -looking 5 or 7 series sedan if I were shopping the larger 4 door Bimmer sedans , but as with the MBZ CLS, it depends on the size/height of rear seat passengers frequently carried.

Interesting that the 6GC is a 5-passenger vehicle ... there's actually a lap belt on the hump between the rear seats, so that the unfortunate person sitting there would have one foot to the left of the center tunnel and one to the right ... yet for any of us with kids (and their friends) it would be nice to have that "emergency" 5th seat when you really need it. Is the A7 really going to offer that as an option? I hadn't seen that anywhere before.

I wonder if that is true for U.S. cars as we are in what is considered 2012 models now. At any rate, I'll be wondering at some point if there will be a retro fit. It is the one thing I don't like about the "open box" look in the back seat now. It just seems an odd look vs. the rest of a very nice interior.
