Der Begriff "Hardtop-Fahrzeug" wurde als Sammelbegriff für alle Fahrzeuge mit vollständig versenkbarem Dach gewählt, die auch als Cabriolets bezeichnet werden. Das Dach des Cabriolets könnte demnach nicht nur ein Festdach sondern auch ein Faltverdeck oder dgl. sein. Alternativ könnte als Sammelbegriff auch das Wort "Klappdach-Fahrzeug" stehen.The term "hardtop vehicle" was used as a collective term for all vehicles with fully retractable roof selected, which are also known as convertibles. The roof of the Cabriolets could therefore not only be a fixed roof but can also be a folding top or the like. Alternatively, as Collective term also the word "folding roof vehicle" stand.
