the two-seat declaration that backseats are for people who compromise.
means A roadster is an open-top sports car built for two, prizing speed and style over practicality.
from From 'road' plus the agent suffix '-ster' — literally 'a thing of the road.' The word first meant something else entirely: in the 1700s a 'roadster' was a horse suited for travel along roads, and later a sturdy bicycle for the same. When the automobile arrived around the turn of the 20th century, the name was handed down to a light, doorless, top-down car — the open road's newest creature.
