Dunno about the louvres, but I've always fancied a set of square lights.

It would work better on a car with a shallower rear window angle.

That would look banging with a louvre.

It is an ugly beast. Why is it considered a "true coupe" though? Just because it has a softer rake on the rear window?

And to think, somewhere, someone sat back and thought 'yes, that's absolutely spot on. Nothing more to do here'

To be fair, I think the design engineer at Baur was tooting crack in the 80's, didn't think much of the cab conversions either

I just don't understand why people have to mess with a good design, the BMW made vert was and is a beautiful thing, the 2 door saloon is hardly ugly, then they go and do that to them. The only design change I think would make an E30 look better is a lower roof line
