It doesn’t matter what the manufacturer or a government agency call an item, people call it whatever makes sense and is understandable to everyone.
Therefore, if people want to call them Roadster Pickups, RPU’s or pickups, it doesn’t matter as long as everyone understands what the damn thing is!

But David that is the issue that I see, not everyone does understand what this bodystyle is.
Since you used an analogy, let me use this one too. Your name is David, -and that is what people know and identify you as. Maybe because I don't think you look like someone named David, I just called you George S, ...which causes confusion because that is not your proper name and people would even be more confused when I tried to speak to someone about you. We live in a different era with these cars and there is so much confusion with novices in this hobby.
