A couple years ago I bought my first convertible, a Mercedes SLK. I was surprised that I felt really uncomfortable driving with the top down--I wanted to be wearing my helmet.
An SL, SLK, Z4, Boxster, etc., will NOT "cage" you. You can get a V12 SL or an AMG SL that will make your bike seem slow. You can own a first generation Boxster for $10K ... which is a way better choice than a CanAm.
Funny thing I heard recently and should post in this thread too about 3-wheelers: if there's something in the road, you are going to hit it. Think about it.
Funny how you rag on a CanAm but then say a convertible CAR is a better choice. To many of us, no car is better. I've owned a couple convertibles. Yes, they can be more fun than a sedan or an SUV, but nothing like a two or three wheel motorcycle.
What do you think you're going to hit in the road? It's been a while since I saw a refrigerator in a lane of the interstate.! Oh wait, it was NEVER.
Most common things that I can imagine, if you just don't panic and just ride right over it, no harm. Especially if you do have the stability of a three wheeler.
And first generation Boxster is how old? You'll probably dump another 10 grand in it in the first five years of ownership. And it's still a CAR.
