The smart coupe doesn't really live up to my idea of what a coupe is.

Checked the dictionary which says "close carriage for two;half compartment at end of railway carriage" (old dictionary )

Seems that lots of so called coupes actually aren't (all those four seater BMW coupes etc) in fact it seems the smart is probably the only real coupe :eek:

A coupe is the first one of two chicken coups! (COUP-A!)

Definition: A two-door sedan.

I'd always thought of a coupe as a sporting two-door with a separate boot, and probable either no back seats or teeny tiny ones.

whats a sedan LOL

{joke}

well coupe is essentially the same as sedan but with none - or limited rear seat capability.. Also the boot is supposed to carry less like a couple of shopping bags or golf bag max... :P

This reminds me of an incident when I was ordering suspension parts for my car when I used to have a renault megane.. I had the 5dr hatchback but it had "coupe" marks on the side.. anyway it wasn't anywhere close to the real 2dr coupe model, dunno why they called the 5dr version a coupe also.. anyway this resulted with wrong rear shocks at first as I got the ones for the coupe model, didn't know what the real difference was back then.. luckily I checked the part numbers and finally got the right shocks for the rear also.

This is a UK-based forum - can we not use daft American words please!

Oh? And what's the UK word for sedan? Because as far as I know everyone calls it sedan, I've been calling it sedan since I can remember..

It's probably coz they don't sell many in the UK - (sedans, that is), compared to rest of the world

Sedan auf English = Saloon.

Don't know why the german bit :confused:

Coupe = (Coo-p) a receipticle for holding Coffee or tea in Newcastle (see mug)

Mug = a badge snob who pays over the odds to avoid buying a Skoda.
