<-- Back to Body Styles
Contents |
Overview
Coupe was never available in STD trim, so it has the upper scale fitments such as round gauges.
Fastback has a small trunk (it is not a hatchback/liftback)/
Coupes take especially well to custom touches
In USA, coupe outsold 2-dr Sedan by more than two to one
- 2-dr Coupe: 89,541
- 2-dr Sedan: 43,761
So what's the difference between a 2-dr 'sedan' and a 2-dr 'coupe'?'
See 2-doors Explained
Material Differences
Coupe is same as all other 1200s from the cowl forward -- except for the Coupe Grille.
After of the firewall, all is different:
- Windshield is lower
- Doors are longer (matching the 2-door sedan), and folding seats are standard
- Rear Seat folds down in order to lengthen cargo area
- Fuel tank is under the trunk (sedan tank is behind seat)
- Rear shocks are staggered for superior control (same as truck/van)
- Taillights are long rectangle, somehow looking more timeless than the sedan versions
- Rear bumper is unique (number plate fits under bumper)
