A coupe is an aspirational style and status statement that you don’t buy for practicality, but for on-road glamor, presence, and driving pleasure. Nevertheless, the coupe has been under pressure in recent years as people eschew traditional automobiles for SUVs and fewer buyers can justify an impractical car kept around just because of its curb appeal. But when it comes to high-performance models like Audi coupes, who really cares about practicality?
