Detroit 2008: Maybach Landaulet
The Maybach is clearly courting the Saudi prom night business with this monster Maybach, equipped with a very special landau top and a snow-white leather trim. Now, I'm no expert -- actually, I kind of am -- but I think this type of roof is not a landaulet but a demi-landau. Disputes and corrections filed below...

Diminutive, yes, but it's a masculine ending ( '-ette' would be feminine).
Your idea of 'demilandau' makes sense to *me,* but it may lack the requisite je n'sais qua for the factory Geschmackmeistern.
