I hope you're not holding your breath waiting for the convertible. By the time the politicians get done gutting GM they will only be producing the Volt and a hybrid mini van. As of this morning the Republicans now say they will not pass the loan bill becasue it does not give them enough control over the "restructuring" they feel needs to be severe enough to allow the company to survive. To restructure means to eliminate costs. I'd guess that eliminating the cost of producing a convertible version of a "nitche" car that will not sell a huge number of units falls within their defination.

"One bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". Buy a coupe now while there is still a chance that it will be made. Its second year could be in jeopardy thanks to our congress and the rich guys on Wall Street. It won't be the fault of the guys at GM who have been doing such a great job on this project.
