Newest issue of Autoweek has a story about an 2008 sports coupe from VW.
3.2 Litre V-6, 247 hp, all wheel drive.
Who says 2 door coupes are dead...(except the idiots from Chrysler who think that nobody would buy a 2 door Charger .)

See Autoweek story

I think you are talking about the Volkswagen Eos.

That thing looks lame. If they're building a sports coupe it should look like a sports coupe.

It would be competition for the V6 Mustang.

Posted this more for the point of showing that at least some
manufacters see a market for selling 2 doors coupes, unlike
some firms (DC for one) that claims nobody will buy them.

This wasn't a thread as being a possible sales competitor for the Mustang.

Competition for the V6 Mustang? hows that? The Gold R32 MSRP starts at $29,000...4000 more then the Mustang GT
