Convertibles are a niche market, and Infiniti doesn’t feel it’s a market worth pursuing. At least, not right now.

The automaker’s product strategy chief confirmed to Car Advice that a droptop version of its second-generation Q60 coupe isn’t in the cards, eliminating the open-air option from the brand’s lineup.

Let the Germans have at it, the executive implied.

“We’re focusing only on the coupe version … a convertible is off the table for the moment,” said global senior manager of product strategy Gerardo Carmona. “Convertible volumes are pretty small, and we wanted to be focused on making a big improvement on the car.”

Infiniti offered a convertible variant of the former G37 starting in 2009, with the model rebadged as a Q60 in 2013. Droptops are nice, but they don’t help the brand much if the model it’s based on fails to inspire.
