Because if you're going to give props for coming up with that shape, Ferrari did it first with the 1968 Daytona:

Anyway, I don't see why some people are getting their panties in a bunch telling GM "Bad idea!". If you don't like it, don't buy it, it's that simple. Personally, I think the coupe looks sharper than the roadster, but that's just me.

It would be nice if the hardtop boosted the gas mileage up closer to the cobalt's - even the turbo HHR gets better mileage. I wouldn't be surprised if mileage was one of the driving factors for the hardtop.
