Is the 2 Door Muscle car era coming to an End?

I think the Camaro will become a sedan because the Impala nameplate doesn’t really carry as much weight and it has to be one of the two.

2 door cars in general are dying, I suspect Mustang stays a coupe unless sales get awful, GM has Corvette for their coupe.  I feel like car companies will have 1 coupe, and I don’t mean per brand, but per corporation, like Stellantis with 12 brands maybe does 2 coupes.

2 door anything is coming to an end. 

I honestly do not see 2 door cars surviving past 2030 as young and old want to carry people and 4 doors make it much more comfortable and easy to get people in and out than 2 doors. The few 2 doors that MIGHT survive will be true high end special luxury cars I believe.

Maybe...

If EVs are truly the wave of the future, maybe, compact cars in North America will truly disappear.  And if that happens, maybe, midsize vehicles, even if CUVs, will grow bigger. Become longer and wider.  If maybe that happens, maybe, the necessity for having 4 doors wont be an issue because midsizers are now gonna be fullsizers again.  Maybe...

And if that happens, maybe, because EVs dont necessitate all that transmission tunnel stuff cutting in the interior and space for an engine up front making a huge dashboard protrude into the interior, maybe, that will inspire a 2 door, personal luxury car market again. Which will filter down to affordable 2 door personal cars. Pony cars. Muscle cars....

It's sad but I'm not helping that fact.

Oh people with money will still want toy vehicles. I sure know if I had the extra money there would be a 2-door-somthing at home.

Maybe, maybe not. 'They' said that about convertibles, remember.

Oh course- if all the 2-drs go, so do all the convertibles. ?

Nope, wrong, I can see a market for a proper 4 door convertible since they were liked in the past.

Being BEV, they will be roomy and far more useful than convertibles of the past.

Not a convertible, but clearly a desirable open air auto!

"Wrong"?

The Lincoln is factory ('61-'67), the Cadillac is not.
Last Cadillac 4-dr convertible was this one: 

Talk about a dead body style.

And the t-top thing was tried en-mass to replace the convertible. Nothing ushered its return quicker.

Still think if people want a convertible down the road of future BEV, they will get made on the 4 door auto's.

I personally like the T top thing over the Convertible thing.

Sure; they can ask Santa for one.

Motive power has zero to do with body style availability. Is the regular cab / long bed pickup coming back 'if people want it' because it's pushed by kW instead of BTUs?

Yeah, I'm quite certain people didn't stop buying coupes and convertibles because they're powered by an ICE.

It is sad, I remember when there were many 2dr coupes, hatchbacks, 2dr sedans and convertibles on the market...not that long ago....30 years ago when I was in my early 20s.   2 doors used to be very popular w/ young drivers and single drivers of all ages.    I mostly drove 2drs until I was 30.   I wouldn't mind having another 2dr again, the impracticality of long doors make them irritating (couldn't use one w/ my current garage).  

Have had bunches of both door counts for various reasons/happenstance, but I'll always prefer 2-drs since I don't have  3.5 screaming children to ferry around.

Plus.... dey cooler.

Convertibles are mostly gone. Outside of supercars, there's 2 domestics, 7 Germans (two of which are extremely low volume), and one extremely low volume Japanese. 

Falling sales have crushed both muscle cars AND convertibles.  Seems like almost anyone who can either buy or lease new wants a crossover these days.  Also, there is no guarantee that EVs will ever be in a convertible format.  Sad, really ☹️.

True, but again- it has nothing to do with motive power.
