Neither the common cold nor influenza seem to be caused by coronaviruses.

My bad.

Rhinovirus was formerly a genus from the family Picornaviridae. The 39th Executive Committee (EC39) of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) met in Canada during June 2007 with new taxonomic proposals. In April 2008, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses voted and ratified the following changes:

2005.264V.04 To remove the following species from the existing genus Rhinovirus in the family Picornaviridae:
Human rhinovirus A
Human rhinovirus B
2005.265V.04 To assign the following species to the genus Enterovirus in the family Picornaviridae:
Human rhinovirus A
Human rhinovirus B
2005.266V.04 To remove the existing genus Rhinovirus from the family Picornaviridae. Note: The genus Rhinovirus hereby disappears.

In July 2009, the ICTV voted and ratified a proposal to add a third species, Human rhinovirus C to the genus Enterovirus.

2008.084V.A.HRV-C-Sp 2008.084V To create a new species named Human rhinovirus C in the genus Enterovirus, family Picornaviridae.

There have been a total of 215 taxonomic proposals, which have been approved and ratified since the 8th ICTV Report of 2005.
