Selon la majorité des sources consultées, le terme anglais «sedan» peut désigner une voiture à deux ou à quatre portes alors que le terme français «berline» réfère nécessairement à une voiture à quatre portes. Probablement sous l'influence de l'anglais, les termes «berline deux portes» (critiquable) et «berline quatre portes» (pléonastique) semblent être passés dans l'usage pour rendre les termes «two-door sedan» et «four-door sedan». 3, record 2, French, - berline
