Coupe vs. Sedan

[[ion] C2]

The timeless preferential debate. Whatchoo think? I'm just curious on the demographics of what people think the Alero looks better as.

[doubleN0alero]

I owned 2 coupes, so I'm partial.

[surreal_awakening]

I have a coupe, and it was the shit when I bought it, but as I've grown (read: gotten OLDER), I've developed a preference for sedans, the Alero included.

[jackal2000]

im pretty sure all aleros are actually sedans (read: definition of sedan). obviously this debate is two door or four door preference and mine is two door.

[[ion] C2]

^wow that's dumb. I've always, in every context, known sedan = 4 doors, coupe = 2 doors.

[leroBob]

EHHH Wikipedia, Not the most credible source. I once made the mistake of citing that on a Econ paper man i got marked down.

[[ion] C2]

The term "sedan" refers to a fixed-roof car with at least four doors or any fixed-roof two-door car with at least 33 cubic feet of rear interior volume, according to measurements based on SAE standard J1100

Do we have 33 cubic feet or rear interior volume?

Now we can all vote, okay.

[Vinalero]

Ion, I must say that in the back of an alero, theres definitively more legs space than in my 1986 camaro

Its pretty roomy in the back for a 2 door.

And I vote for coupe as my preference (although my door fixture doesnt think the same thing than me, but who cares! )

[cherrington17]

i'll ignore the lexicon arguments.... and say i'm partial to the 2 door. but i'm young w/o a family. If i had kids, i'd definitely opt for the 4 door.

[Oldsnut]

I havew a sedan but also like the coupes. Alero #2 will be a 2 door.

[xXManwhoreXx]

telling you all from multipule experiences that the coupe with the back seats folded down makes just about the perfect spot to take a lady. Pics soon to come! lmao jk about the pics though...

That gives you enough room? For sleeping maybe...

[Trickyslick]

Coupe...way more sporty and nice lines. Only time I want a four door is when people are climbing in and out the back, but I am always driving so sorry for them.

[[ion] C2]

yeah we do have a LOT of room in the back seat of the coupe, once you climb back there it's awesome

i 2nd that... i don't know what kinda lame game your throwing down, but there isn't much room there at all... (maybe your both smaller)

and the coupe's backseat isn't that roomy with both seats all the way back maybe i just have a bunch of friends w/ long legs....

[[ion] C2]

who puts the front seats all the way back though? mine's almost all the way forward heh, i'm 6ft and the back has loads of room and is very comfy lol.

i had a girl at a fast food drive through tell me my back seat looked very comfortable too

[YALEROYNOT]

4 door for me !! lust the fact that you don't expect the car to have the power it dose with four doors and full leather (cough..sleeper) . so my vote is 4 door sedan.

I love almost all gm larger bodied cars.(caddys,impalas,malibus)

[FrankTheTank]

i had a sedan, and i liked it when i first bought it. then i made it lay out and i really liked it. then i put the stock suspension and hated it so i sold it. if i was gonna buy one just to drive, i'd buy a coupe.

[bizarre179]

I have a coupe and my girl has a sedan. I think all together I have driven hers more than mine. But, I still love the 2 door.

The trunk is pretty roomy too! You can fit a lot of... things back there.
