Does anybody know what the rear passenger interior volume is of the 1st gen SCs? I know the entire interior volume is 85-cubic feet.

I just happen to notice on a photo of Lincoln's new MKR concept it's being called a four-door COUPE.

I've always though that coupes were strictly 2-door and sedans were strickly 4-door. So I went and pulled up the definition of 'coupe' on Wikipedia and whadda-ya-know... SAE standard J1100 defines a coupé as a fixed-roof automobile with less than 33 ft³ (0.93 m³, 934 L) of rear interior volume. Anything greater than that, and 2-door or not, it's actually a sedan! Huh :huh: And since the MKR's got less than 33-cubic feet rear passenger volume, it's technically a coupe.

That really is interesting. I've always wondered same thing when people refered to sedans as coupes. The sc is a coupe though, i think. If you look on Kelly Blue Book or even on insurance papers, it says coupe.

SC=Sports Coupe :lol:

them japanese people probably got mixed up in the volume conversion factor when calculating the interior space much like how that space robot that went to mars just crashed in to the ground rather than floating to it :P

Yeah... For a minute there, I thought I was going to have to change my moniker from SuperCoupe400 to SuperSedan400. :lol:
