SuperCoupe400 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 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 And since the MKR's got less than 33-cubic feet rear passenger volume, it's technically a coupe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95_SC400 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzz30 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 SC=Sports Coupe 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a minute there, I thought I was going to have to change my moniker from SuperCoupe400 to SuperSedan400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
