To #2, Coupes DO NOT SELL. There are a dozen coupes from Honda and Toyota that have bit the dust, simply because they do not sell. That same package can be gained in a sedan... with the seats dropped back.
Mitsu's only claim to fame is that bloated SOB Eclispe.. and without that.. it wouldnt make any money. Thats basically the only car they sell and in low numbers.
I can literally.. go down a list of 100 coupes that have failed in the market place. Not to mention the SVX that Subbie had in about 92. It wasnt styled right, and didnt sell. Put the 2dr Impreza that they used to have... vs the 4dr.. and the 4 will fly off of shelves.
Only company to effectively have 2 coupes of varing size is the Civic and Accord Coupe. They keep the styling fresh every coupla years and save money by using the Accord / Civic platforms.
Look what happened to the Supra, RSX, Integra And the Z isnt doing so well either. Heck, look at the SC and the current version from Lexus. Very limited market.
And thats one thing they cant do right.. PRICE THEM PROPERLY. You might pay 40g but the market wont. On top of all that.. you might be the only one to buy one, so good luck on ya finding parts and a 1/2 decent resale.
Every car is better as a 4dr, and they sell more too.
