  Convertible - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unlike a roadster, which may also have a soft folding top, a convertible has roll-up glass windows in the sides, and so the entire vehicle is "convertible" to an enclosed coupé.
Convertibles are usually 2 door models, only a few 4 door models exist e.g.
Later convertibles were made less often, and by the 1970s they had almost disappeared.

 Encyclopedia: BMW
The New Class coupes were replaced by the 3 Series in 1975, and the New Six became the 7 Series in 1977.
Other cars, like the 6 Series coupés that replaced the CS and the M1, were also added to the mix as the market demanded.
Currently the 3 series coupe is only available in the fourth generation E46 body style (with a 2.5 litre in-line 6 producing 184bhp for the 325ci and a 3.0 litre in-line 6 producing 225bhp for the 330ci) until the middle of 2006 when the E90 coupes will be available.

 2006 Pontiac G6 Coupe & Convertible - tuningnews.net
The coupe and convertible models share the inherent attributes and strengths of the G6 sedan, including four-wheel independent suspension, a driver-oriented interior and a host of refined details.
The coupe's CHMSL is located at the base of the rear window, while the convertible's is a wider lamp incorporated into the decklid, creating a distinct design element.
Similar to the G6 sedan, the coupe and convertible models are tuned to provide a controlled, sporty ride with reduced body roll during cornering.

 Research a New Car - 2004 Chrysler Sebring New Car Test Drive
The coupe combines the sporty styling of a two-door with the practicality of a rear seat and a decent-sized trunk.
The 3.0-liter V6 in the coupe generates 200 hp at 5500 rpm and 205 pounds-feet of torque at 4500 rpm.
The convertible works well for people who don't want to be cramped in a sports car, but want to feel the wind in their hair and look good.

 MIGWeb - Vauxhall Astra Coupe Convertible
The new Vauxhall Astra Coupe Convertible, on sale in the summer, is the first convertible in its class with a remote control electric soft-top as standard.
The Astra Coupe Convertible's elegant lines were penned by a team of designers from Vauxhall and Bertone who together created a sporty and stylish design that looks particularly striking when the top is open.
The Astra Coupe Convertible is designed first and foremost for open-air enthusiasts, yet it has all the advantages of an all-year compact-class car.

 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2, coupe, targa, convertible
For many people the only true 911 is a coupe, for sure they have beautiful, classic lines, the shape of the roof is gorgeous and if you are going to use the car every day, come hell or high water than a coupe certainly makes sense.
On the road a coupe is pretty quite and refined, the electric sunroof (if fitted) is nice and can be used effectively at most speeds.
The advantage is that you have a car almost as secure as a coupe, and with better rollover protection than the convertible.

When dressed in GTP trim, the G6 convertible will be powered by a 3.9-liter, 240-hp V-6 mated to a four-speed manu-matic transmission (a six-speed manual will be offered only with fixed-top GTPs).

The new BMW 6 Series Coupé continues BMW's heritage of the first 6 Series (1976 — 1989) and maintaining BMW's long tradition of large luxury coupes.
The new BMW 6 Series Coupe will be followed, for the first time, by a second body style: a 2+2 convertible model, similar to the BMW Z9 Convertible.
Like classic BMW coupes of the past, the new 6 Series Coupe excels in its classic proportions - the car is long, low and wide.

 ITV Motoring - Volkswagen Eos Coupé-Convertible   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
It can't therefore be considered as the new Golf convertible, a role which VW says is in any case taken by the less technically clever (and recently restyled) Beetle Cabriolet.
The relatively short windscreen contributes to this effect, and also means that taller drivers are less likely to bang their heads against it when entering or leaving the car.
Speaking of banging heads, the chances of doing this if the Eos falls over in convertible mode are reduced by a rollover protection system; roll bars pop up if the car senses that it's about to topple.

 2006 Pontiac G6 Coupe and Convertible Los Angeles Auto Show Preview – 2005 | AutoSite Auto Shows
2006 Pontiac G6 Coupe and Convertible – Simple is as simple does, so these new Pontiacs are coupe and convertible versions of the “first ever” G6 sedan.
Industry reports indicate that the convertible might actually be equipped with a retractable hardtop, potentially making it price uncompetitive with the perennial sales leader, the Chrysler Sebring, and possibly even the appealing Toyota Camry Solara.
With roomy sedan, coupe, and convertible iterations in showrooms by the end of the year, the Pontiac G6 family looks to be one of GM’s better efforts in years.

 2006 Pontiac G6 Coupe/Convertible - First Look - Motor Trend   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
But the G6 convertible is the first four-seat vario-roof car sold in the U.S. Only the much costlier Mercedes-Benz SLK and SL, Chevrolet SSR, and Cadillac XLR have them--and they're all two seaters.
The coupe and convertible will be sold only in GT (3.5-liter) or GTP (3.9-liter) trim, the latter with a stiffer suspension and conventional hydraulic power steering replacing the GT's electric steering.
Handsome as this coupe and convertible are, their appeal will be limited by the shortcomings inherent in the G6 sedan: a chassis only fair-to-middling in its refinement levels and strong, but less-than-polished, pushrod engines.
