Perhaps the trunk of a hatchback is considered to be a door because both the window and the boot are attached, and open together much like how a door does.
BMW thinks coupes can have four doors.




Mercedes and Audi also seem to think so.

Of course, all this 4-door coupe crap is nothing but marketing crap. Frankly, I 'd have had nothing to say about it other than the fact that these car companies have done nothing but put a new skin on an existing chassis and jack up the price. It doesn't bother me what kinds and shapes of cars any car company offer to sell as long as they do so with some integrity.

A car of any design and build is what it is and calling it something it isn't, when I can plainly see what it is, is asking for me to willingly suspend disbelief. I'll do that for a fictional movie. I'll do that for a novel. Why anyone would do that over a tangible object they can see and tough (and drive) is beyond me. My name is not Alice. This is not Wonderland.
