That's if you follow the American terminology of what a roadster is or is not which in all sense should be applied to American made cars not EU or German made cars.

A roadster, sometimes referred to as a spider or spyder, is an open two-seat car with emphasis on sporting appearance or character. Initially an American term for a two-seat car with no weather protection, usage has spread internationally and has evolved to include two-seat convertibles.
