    But I really don't care about it, it's a car made to do car stuff like driving, falling apart, and hauling stupid metal fan boys who complain about someone's opinion on that car, (But I think they would need a Dually truck for that.)

    There are such things as quad coupes. It's not an barbaric idea, and they have been produced before.

    Well, watch the Regular Car Reviews video, you'll get the answer.

    A coupé is a 2 door by definition. 4 door coupés were invented by 'Marketing Experts' thinking that if they slap coupé on everything and lower the roofline the car appears more sporty and therefore will sell better.

    Except for the fact that BMW at least doesn't act as if it was a coupé, which it still isn't

    Well, it's not like Coupe was originally named for cars at first.
    It was actually an real name, and if I remember correctly, it meant something else from the car definition.

    I already seen the review, and my thoughts on it, You're a perfect owner for a Dodge Avenger.

    Well, actually a "coupè" (from the french couper, to cut) is just a shorter, repurposed variant of an existing bodystyle. Not necessarily 2-door by definition.

    Plenty of classic coupè vehicles of the past were 4-doors. Problem is, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi are marketing their hideous fastbacks as coupès...

    Never heard of that phrase.....

    Even Wikipedia says that 4 door coupés pretty much only exist as a marketing term to increase the value of sedans.

    Which is exactly why I'm ranting about this...

    It's more of a pickup thing. Every coupe that tried that was horrible.

    So your saying that the RX-8, the last of the Mazda rotary is horrible?
    WTF?
    The RX-8 shouldn't even be an sedan, as the RX-7 before it was an 2-door coupe.

    Well 16 MPG city and 23 MPG Highway isn't good for a car that weight is 3,064 to 3,111 lbs and it only haves 212 to 232 hp in 2004 to 2011.

    It's not even supposed to be an family vehicle, more or less an sports "quad coupe".
