This leaves me with the convertible that I actually wanted in the first place, for several excellent reasons -- the Pontiac G6.
To my eye, the G6 has the best shape of any convertible on the road, and it comes with a hardtop roof and the OnStar system, both of which greatly increase the car's safety and security levels. The seating position is relatively high, the body is solid and not given to twisting, the fit and finish is excellent, and the equipment levels are high.
Performance would undoubtedly by more than adequate in the G6 if that were an issue, but I have learned from long experience that it is not. There's something about communing with nature (even at 110 kmh) and having your brains baked by the sun that makes you want to take it easy and enjoy the day, man.
And what's wrong with enjoying the day, or the month, or the summer, in France, England, California or even Canada?
