BMW's CLS-fighter?
Four-door coupes are the flavor of the moment?

Technically, a coupe is defined by rear interior volume, not by the number of doors...there is a SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) standard for it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupe
But in common conversation most people consider a coupe a 2 door...
I've always said a RSX isn't a coupe (it's a hatchback), but technically it might be considered a coupe
Later on, we can talk about 4 door hard tops... sedans w/o B-pillars

I hate to break it to the focus group donkeys but not everyone here wants a SUV.

I was owned by the 5 minute edit setting. It should have read " Sematics....A two door vehicle has always been a Coupe." I'll work on my stuttering problem
