It is not based on any hard facts (that I have access to) but in a roll I cannot imagine that the coupe would not be the safer of the two. I frequently drive my two and four year old in the backseat and I am comforted that there is a roof (a hard roof) over their head. For long trips we take the 6,000 lb SUV/Tank.
I know this will upset true cab loyalists but I do get a nice flow of air with the windows down and the sunroof open. It is not a cab but it is refreshing.
By the way I just can't help but think how great it is to have this dilemma. Great machine with a roof or without... Awesome problem to have. Life could be worse. You will enjoy either way.

Yes, and when the aliens attack, they'll probably eat the ones in Cabs first since they're easier pickings.
BTW, Icon, that's the same "fresh face" from a previous avitar but with a little different war paint, isn't it?
