Ok I take it all back -- I’ll lie about a Chevy to pay off my student loans 

Don’t label me

Let’s be constructive here. Clearly the marketing department lacks the correct word for these...devices. A new noun must be forged in the crucible of English.

That manages to be two coupes while the mercedes manages to be none coupes
