I may be mistaken here, but I think convertibles are a boomer-generation thing. I do know that sales of NEW convertibles sure don't support any evidence that they're a Gen X or Millennial commodity.

I would suspect to see convertibles drop in the next decade, slowly, then rapidly in the decade following, while sedans either increase or hold steady. The only advantage convertibles offer over sedans is the open-air top, but the drawbacks are pretty significant, and unless something changes, 60-70 year old parents, in 10-20 years, are still going to want 4 doors for their kids to come along with them, as current trends are already showing more adults staying home with parents even past 30!
