It's written coupe. Same as Porsche.
>>
>>15603915
It's written coupé, in french. It's a word of french origin.
>>
>>15604085
Nope.
Most words originate from a different language.
In English, it's coupe.

It's a word with latin origin (cuppa/cupa) and first used by the french as "coupé."
English-speakers anglicised the word to "coupe."

>>15603804
Coupé is the proper pronunciation, but many automakers have used "coup", which is a good substitute. If American, Coup. Is anywhere else, Coupé.

>tfw Canadian
>tfw the tiny shithole I live in is "quaint" and "rustic" to Americans
>>
>>15606044
Isn't coup the word for coup d'état?

Porsh-ueh. Two syllables.

Coupé and porsché are the same as beyoncé and harambé

coupe = coop
coupé = coopay

>>15606342
franco here, I don't really give a shit and neither should you.

it's all convention. colloquialisms. English barely standardizes anything (tomb? comb? womb? bomb?) so you might as well say what everybody says.
>>
wasnt that a hatchback?

Little deuce coopay you dont know what I've goooot....

Couper is to cut in French, pronounced coop-AY. But, coupe (still a French word!) is pronounced coop because it has no accent. Coupé is pronounced coop-ay. So, if you want to be a fucking pedant about the French pronunciation of things, it should only be coop-ay when it has the accent over the e, or ends with -er. When it is spelled coupe with no accent, it is correct to just say coop, even in French.

It's written Coupe, but it's actually pronounced very similarly to "Four door crossover" with a bit of a nondescript accent.
