There is no substantive evidence that convertible crossover is an new industry classification. This is original research and should be deleted. Biker Biker (talk) 08:13, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge if appropriate with Crossover (automobile) unless they are a new classification and the European Commission classifies them as something other than J-segment. There is no mention of convertible CUV's in the crossover article. NealeFamily (talk) 09:15, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge — neologism; notability not demonstrated. OSX (talk • contributions) 09:33, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - a mere tiny part of the crossover/SUV world. Warren (talk) 15:41, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge In no way distinctive in themselves. TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 17:44, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete — This is not a recognized official automobile classification, nor is the convertible "crossover" design very innovative or modern. This term is just marketing hype by the manufacturers and their marketing departments. Moreover, the 1948 Willys-Overland Jeepster models could be considered the first ragtop "crossover" models because they were built on a SUV platform, but were a designed as a convertible passenger automobile.
