Quick question! Coupe Or Sedan?

Of course this question doesn't belong in competition.

But, Generally

Hardtops are pillarless, window frameless

Sedans have window frames and pillars.

"A coupé or coupe (from the French verb couper, to cut) is a closed car body style, the precise definition of which varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, and over time. Coupés are often hardtopped sports cars or sporty variants of sedan (also known as saloon "

"In the U.S., the term sedan has been used to denote a car with fixed window frames, as opposed to the hardtop style without a "B" pillar and where the sash, if any, winds down with the glass. However, true hardtops have become increasingly rare."

Thanks for all the feedback, I thought it was relevant for the competition thread because I needed to know this question for the autocross registration.
