I thought the coupe was imminent; at least for the Solstice, no? I love roadsters. But it would be my only car. In New Jersey we have mild winters during some years and blizzards during others. Also, with the added rigidity, increased trunk space, and easier maintenance, I would love to see a coupe. Actually, what I would really love to see is a targa-top. Not as opened up as a roadster but more so than a coupe. Not at much structural rigidity as a coupe but more so than a roadster. Also, a glass roof is: easier to clean, easier to ensure that there are no leaks, and easier (and probably cheaper) to replace than a soft-top.
I’m with ya 100% on the look of the roadster. It would be one of those cars that actually look a lot better as a roadster (since it was originally designed as such) than a coupe unlike the Vette, 350Z, Mustang, G6, and so forth.
So, in theory, if the Kappa’s are bound to be turned into a coupe regardless, what should it look like? Have the window drop straight down? The way the Solstice coupe concept looks like? Perhaps only add a B-pillar and have no C, and let the glass just reach out toward the rear like the Corvette? Go with what Rick Tinley Park said and have pretty much the soft-top lines but be a hardtop? You guys heard my opinion already, I want to know yours.
