Actually, they are almost identical in sizes believe it or not. If i 
remember correctly, length, wheelbase, height and width are almost 
identical.  I have been in 2 accidents in the coupe and one in my 4kq 
(none my fault..ok?) and the coupe is one safe son of a gun...as is the 
4kq...i would say over all that with the structural integrity advantage 
that the coupe would hold over the 4kq that it might be safer, but only 
marginally...in actuality, they are probably equal.
