The dumb thing is that a t-top car is actually safer in a roll-over crash than a coupe because of that reinforcement....
And, they don't have to be any smaller proportionately than any other car that has ever had t-tops.
As for f-bodies being "pretty much the only cars left with t-tops"...well, they were, until GM in its infinite wisdom decided to end that. Actually, they were the only vehicles left with t-tops. Even Suzuki stopped making them in that little sport ute thing they had.
Just one more reason to bring them back...make them even more unique, appeal to an even broader market....hell, GM would pick up extra sales because of the t-tops alone...some people would say "I was going to buy a Mustang or a Challenger, but they don't offer t-tops, so I had to go with the Camaro"....
I just can't believe they aren't even being considered.

I tell all of my friends that my t-tops are JUST like having a convertible, except it's safer and I don't have to pay for the insurance for a convertible! haha it makes them all jealous!
When it's a nice day out, they're calling me wanting to "go for a ride" and then when we meet up it's like "so are we taking the t-tops out?!"
