2010 Aston Martin RapideAbout five years ago, in an effort to create a new market segment, auto manufacturers began to blur the lines between coupes and sedans.

The somewhat deceptive marketing campaign on which these cars crested, however, could never change the fact that they were actually still sedans by the traditional definition.
