JD, Go ahead and learn in a 150/152/172. Learning what the rudder's for is valuable experience. It's important to learn slips and wing-low crosswind landings and coordinated turns(especially low and slow ones). The systems in a coupe are dirt simple (even more so than a 150/152) and can be learned quickly once you get your checkride out of the way. The coupe is probably not a good trainer because it is too forgiving. When you get to the point of actually buying a coupe, get some dual instruction from a coupe-savvy instructor or owner. They're not without their own vices and can bite you just as hard as any other plane. The thing I've found to be most dangerous about mine is letting it get too slow on short final. Anything under about 70 MPH and you develop a high sink rate that can be hard to arrest quickly.
