If a coupe is defined by the number of seats, then what number would that be? And who came up with that definition?

It's the simple dictionary definition. Originally, a coupe was an enclosed horse-drawn carriage for two people. The term was later applied to enclosed (i.e. fixed roof) two-person automobiles. Still later, the term was more loosely applied to any automobile with two doors, even if it had seating for four or more. Now, with the CLS-class, apparently a "coupe" is any automobile with a low roofline. But the *strict* definition of a coupe remains an enclosed two-person (i.e. two-seat) conveyance.
