Just hardtop...you don't say hardtop sedan/hardtop coupe/convertible coupe I've even heard coupe sedan around here. etc...It's a contradiction. A hardtop and a sedan are different body styles obviously, so why say them together...It sounds wrong and is wrong.

Unfortunately IMCDB does not have a classification for "4-door hardtop" so we need to list it as a sedan. BTW...I'm soon to be 50 and "back in the day" we did in fact call a pillarless 4-door a "hardtop sedan." Sorry for being too old school.
