And T-tops are classified as a coupe, which is why it would be much more difficult to get t-tops to pass the roof crush (as well as other tests, I'm sure). It's not just that "they want to sell you a convertible." It's been said (if you want t-tops) that the best course of action would be to petition the NHTSA to reclassify t-tops as a convertible (like a targa) instead of a coupe.
