Also, those XA, XB & XC 2 doors are Hardtops, not Coupes - no B Pillar = Hardtop...

not heard that one before....I mean, yes they get referred to as hardtops, but more people call them coupes...coupe just means `cut' - see wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coup%C3%A9

Amazing how snarly the comments have got on this topic... :lol:

Just because a lot of people call them Coupes does not make it correct.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/hardtop
hard·top
–noun

hmm that interesting, I always sort of wondered what the whole hardtop idea was about, wondered if there was any difference, I've called them both as a result :lol:

p.s. I like my xc wagon as my new daily

Doesn't this wannabe convertible hardtop coupé look magnificent in all blue?

Ford couldn't afford the soft-top so they were stuck with the fixed hardtop option for the coupé. :lol:
