<VV> Fw: Re: The EM vs LM thing

[airvair at earthlink.net]

Ken,
 
For someone who's as close to the auto industry as you, you are woefully
deluded. You need to get yourself an automotive dictionary. The industry
definition of a sedan is as I said. It has nothing to do with rows of
seats. Under your "definitions" would removing the back seat in my 4door
hardtop make it a coupe? I don't think so......
