Hi,
I missed the start of this thread, and I'm not sure who to attribute
this quote to. Surely the word Coupe refers to the lower roofline? Hence
cars like the Rover P5 Coupe, which was a variant of the P5 Saloon,
albeit with a lower roofline. That car certainly had 4 doors, and I've
never heard it's Coupe Credentials called into question. I don't have a
dictionary or thesaurus to hand (I'm at work), so can anyone define the
word Coupe, and from where it is derived?
Cheers,
Bill.
