What year did GM stop making convertibles?
GM has not stopped making convertibles entirely. As of 2025, the company continues to offer convertible models today, most notably the Chevrolet Corvette. However, some GM brands that were discontinued—Saturn and Pontiac—ceased producing convertibles around 2009–2010 as part of GM's broader restructuring.
Current status of GM convertibles
GM continues to offer convertible variants in a small portion of its lineup. The most prominent and lasting example is the Chevrolet Corvette; the Camaro has also carried a long-running convertible option in recent years. The list below captures these ongoing offerings.
- Chevrolet Corvette Convertible — currently in production (C8 generation since 2020; earlier generations also offered convertibles)
- Chevrolet Camaro Convertible — offered in recent model years (Gen 5/6 era, approximately 2011–present)
These models illustrate that GM still builds convertibles, even as some brands within GM's portfolio were retired.
Historic end of GM’s convertibles with discontinued brands
Several GM convertibles were discontinued as GM reorganized its brands around 2010. The following models were produced while their brands existed, but were halted when those brands were retired or restructured.
- Pontiac Solstice — 2006–2010 (convertible)
- Pontiac Solstice GXP — 2007–2010
- Saturn Sky — 2007–2009
- Saturn Sky Red Line — 2008–2009
- Cadillac XLR — 2004–2009
The close of these models coincided with GM's 2010 brand restructuring, which saw Pontiac and Saturn discontinued. Corvette and Camaro remained GM's convertible offerings in subsequent years.
Summary
GM did not permanently stop making convertibles. While several former GM brands that produced convertibles—Pontiac and Saturn—were retired around 2010, GM continues to offer convertibles in its active lineup, most notably the Chevrolet Corvette and Camaro. The broader shift reflects GM's emphasis on a smaller, more focused brand strategy and product slate.
