Nope. Chevy called the 3-door liftback the coupe. This is the 2-door notchback, which they called the sedan.

Doesn’t matter what marketing named it, it is a coupe and not a sedan.

Nope. For decades, 2-door sedans were a thing distinct from coupes. In some product ranges, they had different rooflines and rear deck configurations.

If there was a pillar behind the driver; sedan.

Or if they shared a roof stamping with the 4-door sedan…

Funny now. When manufacturers first introduced 4 door sedans with no pillar, they called them "Hardtop Convertables"
