Looking at my Webster's New World Dictionary:

	coupe: a closed, two-door automobile with a body smaller than
	that of a sedan.

	sedan: an enclosed automobile with two or four doors, and two
	wide seats, front and rear.

What does this say?  If it has four doors, it's a sedan.  If it has two
doors, it will depend on the body size.  Generally the coupes ("coupe'",
by the way, is the French word for "cut") will have body styles that
are stylishly "cut" from a sedan body style.
