A car with T-tops is still a coupe. And a coupe with T-tops doesn't offer much protection, and you would lose your RRAB in side impacts. If you saw the current side impact and pole tests you would all simply go, "ahhhh, now I understand"

If you guys are REALLY that strong about this, start a campaign with NHTSA. Lack of T-tops isn't because GM "didn't think about it". It's because of the difficulty in meeting standards.
