Reply to "Where are all the Coupes?"

Mitch nailed it.  Its the upfront engineering cost more than the demand.  I asked Henry at Intermeccanica more than once if he would do an A body coupe.  His answer was "sure"  Get me a minimum of 10 guys to buy at one time and he would start the process.  Even then, I think he was thinking that he would probably loose money after all the start up cost.  The platform that most build on has been around for many years (maybe 30 years plus) and things were much cheaper then.  That is why they can keep building and make money.   Starting today would be very difficult.  You would need access to money, cheap money for it to work.  What JPS builds was nice but would not satisfy the needs of most buyers living east of the Mississippi.  A Coupe buyer wants a real 3 season car. Water tight and insulated from the elements.  It also has to be quite when cruising.
