What's weird about it is the marketing strategy.  In the early '80s
Audi had two cars, both on the same platform, both FWD, both two-door?
What distingushed them?  For a while I have been thinking of the Coupe GT
as just the 2-door version of the 4000, which was the role it played in
'85-'87.

It seems especially strange when contrasted with the current model line,
which includes no coupes and no small cars.
