It is a good looking car. Call a sedan. Styling doesn't make a car a coupe, two doors make a car a coupe. If you look at lists of what are considered beautiful cars, very few of them have four doors. Though the Gran Coupe may one day be considered among them, the MB CLS which seems to be the car that spawned this sedan-called-coupe trend isn't on a single list I could find, yet the Flying Spur, Quatroporte and Maybach are, and none of those cars are presented as coupes.
There is nothing wrong with building a good looking sedan and calling it a sedan, particularly since everyone thinks of it as a sedan anyway.
