Many (many!) years ago, I was car shopping, looking at the coupe version of a car. It was $2K more than the sedan. Same car, just fewer doors. I asked why. The salesman had to go off and ask his sales manager. Answer: Prestige.

The correct answer, of course, is marketing. They get what they can, for any reason that they can.
