Just me being perdantic, but why do UK MINI Convertible Drivers/Owners/Enthusiasts call it a "Cabrio"?

A true "Cabriolet" has a single Roll over bar normally along the "B" Pillar section of the car (See VW Golf/Ford Escort), whereas a Convertible as Roll over protection behind the rear seats (See BMW 3/MINI Convertible)..

Ta!
