What does the word 'Coupe' mean?

Question

Civic Coupe and a host of other Coupes have me baffled.

Answer 1

A coupé or coupe (from the French verb couper, to cut) is a car body style, the precise definition of which varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, and over time. Coupés are often sporty variants of sedans (also known as saloons — see American and British English spelling differences) body styles, with doors commonly reduced from 4 to 2, and a close-coupled[clarify] interior offering either two seats or 2+2 seating (space for two passengers in the front and two occasional passengers or children in the rear).

Answer 2

Tee had it technically right, but didn't cite the web page he copied from to give them credit.

Basically for all intents and purposes it means it has 2 doors.  Some insurance companies see a 2 door (except a pickup truck) as a sports car.
