I'm with fuz on that. It's just like people trying to fit every music group into some kind of category. If you want formula, go get an Explorer and listen to some hip-hop in it.

Yeah, like the man said, from what I can tell "sedan" is what you guys call a "saloon"... I kinda filter out the different words you guys use without really noticing... but when I was in Virginia many years ago I almost fell over when somone said "That boy's got some spunk!"... I wonder how many of you would know why though.

Coupe is used a little less loosely here, there have been 4 door cars called coupe here before, just because they had a slightly more swept roof line.... but I think these days we'd call those "Fastback" and reserve "Coupe" for a more 2 door car.

Either way, if it's got 4 doors and a boot then it's probably a Saloon (Sedan) but I think this one could justify being a Coupe since the rear doors are just a replacement for folding seats.

Amen...

Oh, apparently "Durex" wouldn't be a very good contraceptive in Australia... It's the brand name for sticky tape... you can just imagine can't you...

Get real, and look beyond the superficial. The RX-8 has one of the worlds most innovative engines, seats 4, has 4 doors, weighs less than the 350Z by some 300 plus pounds, has a better looking interior and a phenominal body. Not that the Z car is bad, just that the RX-8 is better.
