Just a marketing term to acknowledge the RX-8's four door coupe styling. No diff.

I bought my 06' sunlight silver GT from Mazda Autobarn in Evanston. If you are looking for a good deal, and premium service, buy your car there. I got an extremely good price, and buying the car from them was actually enjoyable. Ask to speak with David Soth, he is a great guy.

"Quad coupe" is a marketing term coined by Saturn for their Ion 2+2 coupe (as oposed to the 4 door Ion sedan) which boasts a similar door design to the RX-8's "Freestyle Doors"
It has been since adopted as a generic body style term term for coupe style cars that have small reversed hinged secondary doors to facilitate access to the rear seats. (kind of like using "Rollerblades" as a generic term for in-line skates)
