EDAG, a German automobile supply company, proposed a hardtop for the Pontiac Solstice Convertible. The Solstice is an entertaining sports car, but many wanted a removable hardtop. EGAG proposed a station wagon-like unit, which replaced the rear deck, and which recalled the Chevy Nomad concept that was shown by GM in 2004.
A similar removable hardtop was proposed for the Saturn Sky.
The hardtop would provide "winterized comfort," and if you removed the convertible top, increased storage in a car that was seriously lacking in storage space.
The Solstice hardtop was produced in small numbers.

Unique Attributes[]
The "sports wagon" concept gives some utility, like the Volvo 1800ES of the early 1970s.
Criticisms[]
It is not certain that the hardtop was ever produced
Worldwide[]
The similar Opel GT would probably have been able to use the proposed unit for the Saturn Sky, as the cars are virtually identical.
